Use that list as a guideline for building your answers. Do you know anyone working there already? Do you have friends who have children who are students at the school? Any and all information you get ahead of time will not only help you determine what sort of environment is at the school, but if you want to actually work there or not.

You want to give an answer that is heartfelt and genuine and really illustrates why you chose this field. Was there someone in your past who inspired you and you want to pay that forward and inspire others? Draw from specific examples. Make your response thoughtful, genuine, and honest. Example answer: When I was in third grade I struggled a lot with reading. I could never keep up with lessons and I was always terrified of being called on to practice my reading out loud. I started to doubt my own intelligence and was convinced that the bottom line was I was stupid. It ended up affecting my grades and I started to fall behind. Rather than give up on me, my teacher Miss Emily sat me down one day at lunch and really talked to me about what was going on. She moved me to a desk that was closer to the front, made sure I was able to see, and met with my parents to discuss options. Because of her my parents took me to a doctor and my astigmatism was diagnosed. Because of Miss Emily I began to love learning again. I want to be that teacher…the one who takes the time to really discover why students are struggling and give another little girl like me an opportunity to learn to love learning again. Why do you want to teach at this school?

What frustrates you the most in a classroom? Rather than turn that frustration into anger or simply ignore them and wait for a slacker to drift through a year in my class, I turn that frustration into a challenge for both the student and myself. Sometimes all they need is to know someone else believes in them. What is your teaching philosophy? What drives you to teach? What is your approach to teaching and what guides you and how you run your classroom? Take time before you get into the interview to really focus on what your philosophy is and how you apply it every day. Example Answer: I believe that the best learning opportunities are the ones that the students come up with themselves. These questions have ranged from everything from how is the ice cream we had at lunch made to exploring the lifecycle of the mosquitos we found in a piece of playground equipment.
