Teacher and principal mamas, I need help!! Ive been working at the same school for 13 years and have an interview at a really great local district. I’m not sure what types of questions I should have ready or what kinds of questions they’ll ask me. Also, what should I wear? A friend who is a principal said more professional than regular teaching attire. What does that mean? Slacks and a blazer or a dress suit?
Any advice from someone familiar with the process would be incredibly helpful!
Thanks ek! I teach first but the interview is for elementary jobs district wide. Those initiatives sound a lot like what my current school is like except for PL. I’ll brush up on answers.
I interviewed twice two years ago in different area districts. The area I’m in has tons of districts and is extremely competitive. My husband was childhood friends with a principal in the district I’m interviewing in which is most likely the reason I got it.
I’m probably not going to be much help seeing as I’ve been teaching at the same school for 14 years, but I wish you luck!
What position or grade level are you applying for? Elementary? Middle? High?
Thanks! I teach first grade but the job posting was for various elementary positions district wide.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Hey! I’ve been on a lot of interview committees over the past few years. Definitely dress more professional. Slacks and a blazer would be perfect! You’re most likely going to be asked about how you differentiate your instruction (don’t forget to mention what you do for the high kids!), a typical literacy lesson, experience with PLCs, and your classroom management style. Find out if the school is a PBIS school or has another behavior management program because that would be important to include in your response to the classroom management question. See if the district has any big initiatives right now so you can speak to those if you have experience. The big push in my district is personalized learning so if a candidate mentioned experience with PL then that would reflect highly on them.
Good luck! What grade?
