Most common teacher interview questions

1. Why do you want to teach?

Example answer: “I became a teacher because of my high school algebra


teacher’s impact on my life. Math doesn’t come naturally to me but she took
the time not only to explain the material in a way that made sense to me but
also helped me understand that every form of intelligence is equally
valuable. There’s no job more important than teaching the future leaders of
our world the information they need to know, but more importantly, showing
them their worth, potential and ability to form their own opinions by thinking
critically and observing the world around them.”

2. What makes you a good fit for this school?

When answering this question, demonstrate your knowledge of both the


school and its district. Explain why this information enhances your interest in
the institution. A strong answer could include information about recent test
scores, specific programs or awards earned by the school.

Example answer: “I am inspired by this school’s reputation for educational


excellence and for encouraging creativity through its renowned arts program.
I note there has been a dip in the AP test scores in recent years, so I am
extremely motivated to introduce my teaching strategies. I feel confident
that I could help students improve their scores and opportunities for
success.”

3. What characteristics do students want their teachers to possess?


Example answer: “I believe that students want their teachers to be dedicated
and approachable, and they can tell when a teacher doesn't possess these
qualities. If students know you're working hard and want to support them as
they learn, they're more likely to succeed. For this reason, I keep an open-
door policy at all times and strive to build rapport with each student.”

4. How does a teacher's personality affect their success?

This allows you to share your vision of success and the tools needed to
achieve it. A good answer would describe some of the personal qualities
teachers need to succeed as well as some of the obstacles to success they
must overcome.

Example answer: “Teachers need to have flexibility, compassion, self-


discipline, drive and patience to reach their students. Teachers also need to
consider state and local testing objectives when devising lesson plans and
making sure students understand the materials on which they'll be tested.
Teachers must be able to alter their styles so that every one of their students
can learn effectively.”

5. What role does discipline play in teaching and what is your approach?

Example answer: “I believe that a teacher can't be effective without the right
disciplinary approach. I prefer to explain what's expected of my students, so
they're set up for success. Without discipline, there won't be respect, and
keeping students accountable may be difficult. After researching several
methods, I’ve found that a rewards system is the best method for avoiding
bad behavior. While there are certainly still cases that need to be addressed
with the school’s behavior program, using rewards enforces positive behavior
and gives children a goal to strive for.”

6. How do you incorporate parents/guardians into students' education?

. A good answer will emphasize a parent's role in their child's education and
will explain how you plan to involve parents.

Example answer: “A child's education depends on the support of his or her


parents. I believe that engaging with parents and making sure that they have
an active role in their child's success is vital. I give parents my contact
information so they can get in touch and ask any questions they have about
how their child is performing. I also provide updates about what my students
have learned and accomplished.”
7. Have your lesson plans been affected by standardized testing at the state
levels?

. When answering this question, you should describe how you incorporated
different standards into your lesson plan but also how you developed a
robust curriculum that wasn't based on testing standards alone.

Example answer: “You must take standards into account when developing a
curriculum. Successfully structuring a school year depends on effectively
planning a curriculum and regularly assessing students. My approach is to
develop my lessons by building them around educational standards, but I
don't only teach with the testing in mind. My lesson plans include more
information than just what the students need to know for the standardized
test. Regular assessments let me gauge how well my students understand
the material, and I use my curriculum to make sure my students have
acquired the skills that they'll need for the test.”

8. What do you believe is the role of technology in the classroom?

. Many teachers aim to use available technology without letting it take over
the classroom.

Example answer: “I think that technology in the classroom can be a valuable


tool in helping students learn. That being said, technology can also be
distracting, so setting expectations for appropriately using tech is critical.
Students should be able to use the technology for learning in addition to
basic skills so I give them assignments that require advanced use of the
technology to complete the work. For example, I may include formatting
requirements with their writing assignments, so they're progressively
learning to format throughout the year. This allows the students to become
more comfortable with different platforms and sets them up for success in
their future workplace.”

9. Tell me about your teaching philosophy.

Many schools may have established ways of teaching and you must express
your openness and confidence in your own cultivated opinions about the best
ways to teach.

Example answer: “My teaching philosophy is to make my lesson plans


relatable. In many cases, when a student can’t identify with the material, it’s
harder for them to gather meaning. As a literature teacher, my goal is to
help students empathize with characters, places and concepts, especially
when those things are different from their own life experiences. As a student,
I found stories more memorable when my teachers helped me draw parallels.
As a student teacher, I like to make comparisons between older texts, like
Shakespeare and modern events. For example, comparing events in the
plays to events in pop culture. This not only helps students understand the
stories but also helps them draw their own conclusions.”

10. How would your past students, peers or administrators describe you?

Use anecdotes and examples from your experience to support your answer.

Example answer: "My peers and students would describe me as encouraging,


creative and inspiring. I love planning fun activities for my classroom and
involving other classrooms as well. For example, last year I organized 'Pi Day'
on March 14 for the whole six-grade class. I planned scavenger hunts, relay
races and trivia all based around math. It was great to see all the students
work together, have fun and learn."

11. What questions do you have for us?

Come prepared to the interview with five to 10 questions and jot down or
make a mental note of any new questions that arise throughout the
interview.

Example questions: "How would you describe the culture of the school? What
qualities do you look for in a candidate? What are some of the school’s
greatest achievements? What extracurricular activities are offered to
students? “Ask also if they sponsor visa for international teacher, you can ask
1 up to 3 questions, do not ask too much questions.
