Every interview is as different as every person! Hi, Natalia. Let me be honest with you-you should be honest in your interview an believe that you will get the job that you were meant to get-having said that know that you will interview many times and either decline the job or not be asked back for the job! Do dress like a professional and not like someone going to the gym or to Walmart. Bring your pictures of your teaching experiences. Tell good things about yourself and show that you are interested in growing or learning more in some areas. Ask a few questions yourself-they need a teacher-you don't really need their position-you may find a better one- but how will you know if you can't remember what the interview was like or you don't ask questions. I'd ask what is your teacher turnover? What type of inservices do you offer teachers? Do you have a school scrapbook or annual I could see? What grades do you have openings in-if you have read their postings ask which jobs you are being considered for-tell the grade you want to teach. I turned down several jobs because I wanted a specific grade and I wanted to teach with a group that worked well together. I don't like to work in the middle of conflict!
When I was asked to tell about myself I shared about where I attended college, where I student taught, where I lived, my philosophy in education and the grades I was interested in teaching. I told a little about church and marriage because I wanted to give a true picture of myself. I was ready to discuss the latest buzz words in education and a few principals asked me questions in which I threw those words in!
I hope this helps!
