Stand Out in Your Teacher Interview | Kathleen Jasper

In this video, I walk you through some basic tips for your teacher interview. I have interviewed so many teachers over the years, so I share what I think is the best approach while also outlining things to avoid.

Interview elements covered in this video:
- How to be positive and frame the interview as an opportunity to share your strengths and talents.
- How to successfully answer the scenario question you’ll probably be asked.
- How to apply all the good words you’ve learned in our videos and courses to your interview.
- How to avoid anything negative and turn it into a positive.

You’re going to crush your interview, and even if you don’t get the job, you’ll learn a lot. So relax and turn this into an opportunity to learn and grow.

I watched your video a few days ago before my interview. Despite me being extremely nervous because I’m not a good interviewee I followed your advice and the next day I was offered the position! I will be a kindergarten teacher for the upcoming school year! Thank you for sharing your videos ❤

I watched this and your other interview video twice before my interview today and...I received a job offer on the spot!! Thank you so much for the advice. Being a career changer, I was a bit nervous and not sure what I would be walking into but your tips were spot on. You are a legend!!

When you have a catastrophic loss in your life often your employer gently gets rid of you, after 5 years I was no longer a good fit. I watched your inspiring videos prepared and got a dream job teaching college level high school to at-risk students. It is everything I wanted for years. You gave me the knowledge and confidence to shine. I have never done so well in an interview. Ms. Jasper you have helped safeguard the future of my family thank you.

I watched this video before my teaching interview in October and got the job. I was interviewed by 5 people all at once! It was intimidating, but they literally asked these same questions you mentioned and even though I had never taught before I was able to answer them. So good. Thank God and thank you!

I am a very new teacher with no experience, but after watching your video I was able to land a job. Thank you so much! I will be buying your book 😊

I was so scared about being asked about teaching despite not having much experience and you've put my worries at ease- thank you so much!

I've been watching your videos and taking lots of notes for my History Teacher job interviews. While I didn't necessarily get the job. I've had the 4 or so past job interviewers tell me that it was a hard decision as they could tell despite my lack of experience with only an Associate Educator License and one year of Substitute Teaching under my belt, that I have a good sense of dedication and earnestness to be a good teacher with my classroom management plans and mentioning of sticking to the Standards and using Data-driven analysis to modify and instruct my students to the state standards. Here's hoping I can get a History Teaching job soon😅

I just watched this video an hour before my interview today, and got the job!! Thank you so much for the advice.

[anthonyfortuna]

I watched your video on loop to the 4 interviews I had recently and I made the 2nd round on 3/4 positions. I got the job that I wanted! Thank you so much and I’ll say it again “I’m grateful for the opportunity and I learned so much!”

[hummingbirdsummer]

Kathleen I can't thank you enough. I went through 4 interviews and didn't get an offer, and then I studied your tips and I got a job my first interview after, hired the same day! I am so happy!! Subbed forever. ❤❤

Got offered to interview for a position as a Guidance counselor at a Christina prep. If this is the Lords will. 🙏😃 thanks for this!

[tracy]

Thanks. I thought I did great in my interview but I found out today that my interview for my district 's special ed teacher pool didn't go well and they decided not to extend a letter of intent for me. I've been a paraeducator in special ed for 10 years and am now finishing a 2 year program for a bachelor's in Gen ed/special ed. I am going to have a meeting with one of the interviewers Wed to get some tips on interview answers based on the feedback from my interview. I'm beyond disappointed because I don't know what I did wrong. I'm 56 years old so I worry I was too easygoing in my answers or too old school even though I've taken my new learning I college to heart.

I've been studying since last week & your videos are helping me through my journey. Please, keep doing what you do. You're a blessing. ♥️🙏

[tonyarobinson]

This video is very effective. I watched it several times and I nailed my interviews. I received 2 job offers.

[yukeunjeon]

“You can still stop and breath!” Thank you. It was super informative and inspirational!

[lebrunj]

Thanks so much! I had no idea you did these videos, but I used your PRAXIS materials religiously (and scored 190-200 on all the subexams!!), so I trust you dearly. I got my first teaching job within 5 min of interviewing so when I decided to move, I didn't think I'd need to prepare for the interviews too much, but after absolutely bombing my first interview, I found your videos and have been crushing it since! Thanks again!!!

[ayesharaja]

First of all I want to thank you, Dr. Jasper! Because of you I passed my praxis core exam and praxis subject exam. Can't thank you enough. I learned a lot from you. I've recommended your videos to so many people as well. Now I'm watching this and can't wait to ace my interview.

[BidhanGajmer]

That was so eye-opening! I have been a teacher for 17 years plus, and have worked as a Principal as well. I too have had the privilege to be part of the interviewer...however, in the recent interview that sat, in a completely new environment, I thought I gave the best shot. Coz there wasn't anything that I couldn't talk about. But then later I received an email to tell me that they were proceeding further with the other candidate. I kept wondering where would I have gone wrong?
You answered it. Damn, probably I knew too much more than I should have! I did mention a few weaknesses of other schools in the locality, which could have given the impression of a gossip-natured!

[catherineroy]

Thank you!! I watched your videos before my first interview ever and was offered the job on the spot!

[rebeccaly]

Your videos are such a godsend right now! Thank you so much. I can tell you are a killer teacher! ❤ thank you for helping teachers and aspiring teachers!
