Stand Out in Your Teacher Interview | Kathleen Jasper

In this video, I walk you through some basic tips for your teacher interview. I have interviewed so many teachers over the years, so I share what I think is the best approach while also outlining things to avoid.
Check out my new teacher interview course here: kathleenjasper.com/products/t...
Interview elements covered in this video:
- How to be positive and frame the interview as an opportunity to share your strengths and talents.
- How to successfully answer the scenario question you’ll probably be asked.
- How to apply all the good words you’ve learned in our videos and courses to your interview.
- How to avoid anything negative and turn it into a positive.
You’re going to crush your interview, and even if you don’t get the job, you’ll learn a lot. So relax and turn this into an opportunity to learn and grow.

I watched this video before my teaching interview in October and got the job. I was interviewed by 5 people all at once! It was intimidating, but they literally asked these same questions you mentioned and even though I had never taught before I was able to answer them. So good. Thank God and thank you!

Thanks. I thought I did great in my interview but I found out today that my interview for my district 's special ed teacher pool didn't go well and they decided not to extend a letter of intent for me. I've been a paraeducator in special ed for 10 years and am now finishing a 2 year program for a bachelor's in Gen ed/special ed. I am going to have a meeting with one of the interviewers Wed to get some tips on interview answers based on the feedback from my interview. I'm beyond disappointed because I don't know what I did wrong. I'm 56 years old so I worry I was too easygoing in my answers or too old school even though I've taken my new learning I college to heart.

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

I'm sorry to hear that the interview outcome wasn't as expected. It's great that you're seeking feedback to improve. Remember, your experience is valuable, and age shouldn't be a barrier. Stay positive and open-minded during the meeting. Setbacks happen, but they can lead to growth. Best of luck moving forward! ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC

[@user-mj7fb4ch5i]

That was so eye-opening! I have been a teacher for 17 years plus, and have worked as a Principal as well. I too have had the privilege to be part of the interviewer...however, in the recent interview that sat, in a completely new environment, I thought I gave the best shot. Coz there wasn't anything that I couldn't talk about. But then later I received an email to tell me that they were proceeding further with the other candidate. I kept wondering where would I have gone wrong? You answered it. Damn, probably I knew too much more than I should have! I did mention a few weaknesses of other schools in the locality, which could have given the impression of a gossip-natured!

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's commendable that you have extensive experience in education, both as a teacher and a Principal. It's possible that, in your enthusiasm to showcase your knowledge, mentioning weaknesses of other schools may have been perceived differently than intended. Sometimes, interviews prioritize a positive and collaborative approach. Your self-awareness is key, and perhaps refining your focus on your own strengths and the positive aspects of your experiences could enhance future interviews. Best of luck in your continued endeavors! 🌟 ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC

I wonder if I said something negative about a teacher I used to work with in my interview. I honestly don't remember what I said in my interview. I'm trying not to feel discouraged...I'm 2 months from graduating from my program but I'm having feelings like maybe I should call it quits if I can't pass an interview for a special ed teacher pool...but I won't give up. I have too much invested in this. I know I'm a good teacher for special needs kids. I have so much compassion for them and I spend so much time and energy to help them succeed...it makes me angry that I didn't pass the interview.

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

It can be very discouraging. Have you considered asking for feedback on your interview? Perhaps ask if there is a way to see your scores and how you did so you can get better. Also, maybe there is a rubric they use for the interview. If you can get that, you can work on your approach.

What advice do you have for VERY experienced teachers who are looking to change districts? Especially in this day and age where ageism still exists even during a teacher shortage.

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Confidence is key, along with the experience you have. One asset to highlight is the ability to adapt. Sometimes VERY experienced teachers are set in their ways. It is important to highlight how comfortable you are with learning new technology along with the ever changing styles of teaching. It also doesn't hurt to know people.

Thank you so much! Your advice is very valuable to me as I got a pink slip back in late March and I'm not sure I'll be returning to the position I'm currently teaching at. I went on my first interview last week before watching your videos and I feel like most of it went well. But I accidentally started blah blah blahing and said something negative about a relationship with a parent I experienced :( The interview was Monday and I haven't heard back yet. I wrote a gratitude email to the interview team and they said they'd be contacting me soon. It's Thursday and no word on their decision yet. Is no news good news?

It's natural to feel anxious about the wait after an interview, but no news doesn't necessarily mean bad news. Sometimes decisions take longer than expected, so hang in there and keep positive. ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC

[@sanaahmed9724]

Okay, so I have seen your video but seeing as my mind is in so many places right now I will have to re-watch it. Having stated that the principal at my last job let me go with a not so nice statement. And I know you said be positive and I agree with what you said, I myself personally believe in being positive, however, by not stating the some facts of the situation, I feel as though I am accepting misplaced blame for the situation. How should I tackle this situation with a future employer? Gently touch about the situation with a sincere attempt at objective fact based statements or just make the sacrifice and be positive no matter the consequences? Thanks!

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Without knowing all of the facts, it is best to stay positive. Unless whatever situation you were involved in is brought up in your interview, I wouldn't shed light on it and focus on all the positives you will bring to the position. Best of luck to you in your interviews. Thanks for watching.

[@Anabella508]

First time seeing your videos, very informative. I am doing an application and this question gave me a pause. Tell us about a time you faced a challenge when collaborating with others. What actions did you take, and how did you overcome this challenge? I will be a new teacher I was never in that situation. How can I answer that question?

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

This is a question most principals or interview teams ask. You will probably want to highlight maybe a disagreement or difference in approaches. Then you can say that you compromised or that you tried both ways and collected anecdotal data to see which one worked best. You could also just say, "I could tell this was very important to my colleague, and rather than push back, I compromised." Or maybe your colleague was unreasonable, but you learned how to work with them and focus on their strengths, rather than focusing on what irked you about them. Keep it positive, but you can be firm in your beliefs. This is key to getting along with people in the workplace. Hope that helps and have a great day.

Adriana Giraldo from Colombia Thanks so much for your great ideas. I have a question that I would like to know more about: How an international teacher can enrich the school instructional goals as it relates to the curriculum, Thanks!

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

I would probably focus on your life experience. Having a unique experience being an international teacher gives you a lot of different perspectives for how students learn.

Hello Ms. Jasper! This is really helpful stuff! I am still in school and will soon begin student teaching. For a student who also needs to maintain an income, do you recommend my taking a substitute position, or are there better channels to prepare to ensure that at least 8 of my 12 weeks are paid? Are there options out there?

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

If you are able to get a sub position then do so. I thought you had to have a bachelor's to get hired as a sub, but if you can do it by all means get the experience. Otherwise, you can get hired as a paraprofessional at a local school. The more contacts you make in a school/district, the easier it will be to get hired. Thanks for watching.

[@christinabrown5875]

@@KathleenJasperEdD I have transitioned from a bachelor's in business management and currently pursue a Masters of Elementary Education. Because of a teacher shortage in my state, I have seen several substitute positions open, but wanted to be sure to take the best route. Thanks for the advice! I will check out the opportunities as I complete early field experience, and I will be sure to stay tuned...

How can I speak like you. Tips please

[@a.long-diaz5739]

How could we find out more information about districts' contracts? Are they typically available on a school district's website? Thank you for this video, by the way. You provided useful advice that I will keep in mind during an interview

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Thank you so much for watching. You can usually google your district name and teacher contract and find it. For example: "Miami-Dade Teacher Contract." Sometimes the contacts are on the teacher union pages. Contracts contain a lot of legal jargon, so be prepared to read. But it is such an important thing to do. Great question. Thanks for being here :)

[@a.long-diaz5739]

@@KathleenJasperEdD Thank you! I have one more question. I'm a summer graduate with a Master's degree. The degree itself won't post until two weeks from now. If a teacher begins the school year with a bachelor's degree, but obtains her master's in the middle of the school year, can her contract be changed to reflect her new degree? Can her salary change in the middle of the school year? I don't mean to come across as someone whose only focus is her earnings, however , I will have to begin paying my student loans soon and financial planning is important to me

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

@@a.long-diaz5739 It depends on your district. You should be able to collect those earnings immediately. Stay on HR to make it happen. Also, it's absolutely fine to be focused on earnings. You need to advocate for yourself and get paid what you're worth. While teaching is not a job most take to get rich--many teachers are intrinsically motivated--you should still be paid what you're worth, and when you're not, speak up.

Where exactly do you find the state standards? I live in Texas.

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Just google Texas state education standards. They are usually the first thing to pop up. They are called the TEKS. Hope that helps and have a great day.

I was so scared to have an interview. I am not good in public speaking. How can I control my nervous during my Interview?

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

It's normal to feel nervous, especially if public speaking isn't your strength. Remember to prepare thoroughly, practice relaxation techniques, and focus on the conversation during the interview. With practice and a positive mindset, you can control your nerves and perform well. Good luck! ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC

I just want to ask you if a foreigners can pass the praxy exam? Like toiec certification

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Anyone can take the Praxis exams. However, you have to find a testing center that administers the exams or arrange to take it online.

Hi can anyone guide about substitute teacher interview questions please ? Do they offer any subject or a particular subject? It’s going to be my very first interview here in the USA. Please help. Really grateful to you

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Hi there, You can use the methods in this video as a substitute teacher also. One thing you'll want to include is that you want to support the teacher whom you are subbing for. That is your main job. But all the other stuff I cover in this video will also help you in your interview.

[@HK-bn5un]

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much.. it was good.. she sent me the email for the next steps like background verification … she also said I’ll get an email about the hiring process and I need to make a separate outlook email for McPs than my personal one .. I’m a little confused like she didn’t use the words you’re hired .. can you please throw some light on it

[@saaa.aa9578]

Would it look bad if you asked to write some notes and then answer?

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

I don't think so. If the question is complex and has multiple parts, you can jot down a few notes. I wouldn't take forever, but if you need to write a few things down, I think that shows that you're evaluating the situation and trying to give your best response.

[@MarvW07]

I am in the process of completing my first teacher application and the last part wants me to have a one-way interview. Are you familiar with those?

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

I believe that is interviewing with the principal only and not with a panel. Is that correct?

[@vascanj]

@@KathleenJasperEdDI’m 90% sure a one-way interview is where they give you questions and you have to record yourself answering them with only a certain number of takes. I had to do that before, it was definitely a learning experience!

What are PLC's?

[@guidenext]

Professional learning communities in which teachers and stakeholders learn as they communicate within their departments or grade levels.

What is PLCs ?

PLC stands for Professional Learning Community. In the below link, we explain what PLCs are and what they are not. We also provide guidance on how to structure and effectively run PLCs.
