I have an interview on Monday. I can do the application. I can do the lesson. I fail the interview. Some of the questions i think i have struggled with are below, with my current answers for you to polish for me. Any guidance/perfect answers would be appreciated.
Why do you want this job?
my reasons: its a county school as opposed to city.
the school has positive, realistic and clear ambition for the school.
its a school i would be happy to send my own children to.
I would say that parents are clearly supportive/ positive but ofsted report suggests not wholey true.
I can teach the full age range for which I am trained (lots of middle/upper schools in this area dont).
What could you offer outside of the classroom?
look at what the gaps in extra curricular activies are.
I could offer a range of crafts
what would a student panel be looking for on this?
What do you think you biggest weakness would be?
options I could use:
I am over critical of myself. Sometimes leads to me spending more time planning etc. But you always know I will jave done my best, and it means that each lesson is critically evaluated to allow constant improvement.
Attention to detail. Again a time thing.
I'm always right...but not sure how to sell that into a positive
I really struggle with student panel interviews in general. What are they looking for?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
