Good morning my lovely followers! Today I'm sharing a collection of teaching interview questions and answers to help all of my friends and followers that recently graduated and are looking for a teaching position. Here I put together 20 common questions that are often asked during teaching interviews, and that I've been asked myself as well. I wanted to create this article for you because when I was about to go on different teacher interviews, I was unable to find any of this info and I want to help out all of the future teachers when I can! So here we go!

1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Why do you want to be a teacher?
3. Why do you want to teach HERE?
4. Tell me about your Classroom Management.
5. How do you handle Behavior Management or behavior issues that arise?
6. How do you communicate with Parents?
7. Tell me about something that went wrong when teaching. What did you do?
8. What frustrates you the most in the classroom?
9. How do you differentiate work for your ELL's, SSN's, and Gifted students?
10. What are your interests outside of the classroom?
11. What activities can you coach or advise?
12. Describe your Teaching Style or Pedagogy.
13. Tell me about your Teaching Strategies.

Thank you so much for this incredible video. I had a 45 minute interview and 15 minutes later got the call to say I got the job.
Your video has changed my life, thank you so so much for sharing this. Teaching jobs are so competitive and I was ready to give up. I still can't believe I have a permanent position as a new graduate/beginning teacher. Xo

I listened to this last night and again today while on my way to an interview. It really helped me, and I was hired on the spot. Thanks!

Y’all my interview is in two hours 😭 This video is making me confident! I hope this helps me like it’s helped so many others.

Yesterday, my friend sent me this video. After watching it and taking notes, I felt much more prepared. I had my first two interviews today, and both schools offered me the position. I’m so happy your channel was recommended to me! I’m sharing this with every prospective teacher I know.

I'm preparing for an interview as an English teacher in china. I searched YouTube looking for interview techniques and I kid you not, THIS has given me the confidence I needed to ace my interviews. Thank you.

[adamcollins]

Hey thank you for the tips. Just got my first teaching job. :)

[rezayazdani]

For a young teacher, you have so much experience. The best video that I have ever seen on this topic. Thank you.

[freehaven-junprince]

This video is one of the best I've seen on the subject. So much of this should be common sense if you sit down and think about it from the employer's perspective, and yet it's not because people often think the goal is to show them who you are as a person as opposed to who you are as an educator.

This comment will probably get lost but thank you so much for this video. In my interview, I was very well prepared. I knew what to answer and I got the job! I will be able to teach Spanish as a first year teacher! Thank you so much for this video!! ❤️🙏
