interviews
By tossednchaos

Hello, I am going to begin interviewing soon for the next school year and could use some advice - anything would be helpful.

Is there anything that I should research prior to interviewing? Are there any questions
that are almost always asked in teacher interviews?

I know that there is a team of teachers, administrators, school board members, and parents which is intimidating in itself.

I did teach for a year and a half but it was at the school I student taught at and they just offered me the position with no interview. I am in a long term subbing position now so also no interview.

However the school wants me to interview with them for a permanent position so I will know some of the people on the interviewing team, I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing.

Anyways, interviewing is something that is very intimidating and stressful to think about for me so any advice would be much appreciated!

Oh, one more thing, is it normally required or suggested to have a portfolio? I don't have a current paper portfolio but last year I did create a web based one ( I thought that was the current expectation but it didn't help me get a job for this year) however, I'm not sure how an online portfolio works while in an interview.

Thanks for taking time to read this!
