I have an interview todayy for a teaching position at a high school. What type of questions should I expect?

We Answered:

I am an English teacher! You should do several things:
Talk about your love for the subject and your love of teaching.
If you have had experience working with kids (summer camps and stuff) bring that in.
Be prepared for questions about how you would handle discipline problems.
Be prepared for questions about your philosophy of teaching.
They might ask you why a student would fail your class (I always say because they worked really hard to fail as I do everything to help them pass!)
Be self assured. I have interviewed people for jobs and they come off nervous and insecure and I never hire those people. Feel sure of yourself and communicate your desire to teach. Talk about your willingness to learn and what a hard worker you are.
They may also ask you what is your faults. I usually say something like I work too much. THey may also ask you three words that describe yourself. So be prepared for that. Don't be nervous. Be yourself.
Good luck.

What are the most sought in demand teaching positions(High School)? (rank the listed ones)?

We Answered:

I am an elementary school teacher but I know many secondary education teachers. Here is what I have observed:
Visual and performing arts is very sought after because it is fun to teach.

Physical education because again it is fun and easy and people with a major in kinesthetic can become P.E. teachers. and that is really the only thing they can do with a degree in that.

Social Science/ History because it is more interesting than many other topics.

Mathematics

Science

English- mostly because of grading

Theology doesn't usually exist on most campuses and Foreign Language is always popular but regionally. For example if you lived in Arizona or California then being bi lingual in Spanish would give you an advantage and a pay raise so that may move to the top of the list depending on where you live. Hope this helps.

Claudia Said:

how to prepare for a high school biology teaching position interview ?

We Answered:

I understand how you feel, I just interviewed for an assistant principal position in a US high school today and I've taught here for 13 years. I guess the best way to prepare is to visit sites that have questions related to "high school teacher interview questions". Behavior and discipline is always an issue so research so information on classroom management strategies. US schools are very test and assessment focused so mention something about that and the need to analyze data. Also research the area you are interviewing in so that the strategies you provide are practical to the population you will teach. Take a breath and good luck!
