    If only there was a definite list of questions that we could be asked at job interviews! I'm in the middle of preparing for job interviews.

    What are the typical type of questions and specific questions would be great that you have been asked at teaching job interviews?

    Hi,

    I had an interview last week and I got offered the job.

    There is always going to be questions asked such as:

    What makes a good teacher?
    What is your classroom management style?
    What can you bring to the school?
    Are you passionate about your subjects?

    I also got asked questions on topics such as inclusion, mixed abilities, ICT, how to cope with discipline/behaviour problems, motivational strategies, methodologies and resources I use in the classroom.

    One particular question I remember is how would I prepare for my first week of lessons in this school? and also.. what is my typical classroom routine from the moment I walk into the classroom and the students are there!!

    I spent hours preparing myself for the interview, but when you enter the interview I think you just need to think on the spot, be yourself and answer to your best ability!

    Best of luck!
