Clip to ScrapBook   
I put teaching interview questions into a search engine and have copied and pasted some for u. Hope these help good luck for your interview.
Here goes:
Why did you decide to become a teacher?

Are you a positive and energetic person? (Give an example to back up your answer.)

If a student said she thought you were the worst teacher she ever had, what would you say?

If I were your principal and we were setting goals for next year, what would they be?

How would you rank these
in importance and why? Planning, discipline, methods, evaluation.

If a student came to you and said, "None of the other students like me," what would you tell him/her?

How do you give your students recognition? Do you think a student can have too much recognition?
