When applying for a teaching role within a school if you are fortunate enough to be invited in for an interview then it makes sense to be as prepared as you can be for what you may be asked.
Here’s a couple of the most commonly asked interview questions and what they are looking for in your reply:-
What do you think an outstanding lesson should look like? – this is from the point of a lesson observation and what your interviewer wants to hear is things such as ‘high levels of engagement and high levels of progress from students as a result’ ‘ good quality of visual aids to help the lesson’ and ‘a great lesson plan with clear goals and objectives’.
Give an example of a successful behaviour management strategy that you have used in the past – here it may be worth adding a statement to your answer that say how you have managed behaviour issues in the past but also how you realise the importance of bringing this inline with the schools current sanctions policy (which you will have previously researched).
