Teacher Interview Questions

In a teacher interview, employers may ask both content-area and general teaching questions. Employers are not only interested in your specific answers but also your communication skills and approachability. Be sure to prepare all necessary documents and review the school's mission statement prior to your interview.

They asked me if I would be able to work the 15 classes per week in the morning and I told them that I would. They told me that I would receive a raise by my 3rd contract. They changed these rules a few months before my 3rd contract hit, however, so I ended up unable to meet the criteria (because I cannot work more of a full time/graveyard shift that a raise requires) and have to wait for another full year to qualify. I still will not qualify as I cannot work earlier than 4 in the morning. Yikes.
