Answering in a yes is not enough though. Describe as to how are they involved in the class and what keeps them from distracting in class. 2. What are some of your effective classroom management strategies or styles? Answer: The answer to the first question would be your answer to this as well. Name and elaborate the different strategies used and how have they been successful in resulting in active involvement of students. 3. Do you get full class participation by following your methods of classroom management? Answer: Ideally the answer should be positive but if you think that you have not been always successful in getting 100 percent class participation then do say the truth. However, remember not to start your answer with a no as it implies negativity and lack of belief in oneself. Tell the interviewer that you have been working on the methods and have already initiated some ideas that have shown considerably good results. 4. Can you please tell us something about the learning activities that you often conduct in your class and do they prove to be useful to all the students? Answer: Some of the popular and effective strategies of class management include 'all write', 'pair up' etc. Similarly, you may be following one of these or others. If you have your own method, before the interview try to give a name to it so that it becomes easy for you to convey it to the interviewer. 5. How do you maintain balance between assertiveness and friendliness with your students? Answer: To be successful in effective class management, a teacher needs to be assertive as well as friendly.

With some, being assertive may work and for some, a friendly approach may be enough. 6. Does your classroom management style become monotonous to students after a while or do they remain equally involved in class as they used to before? Answer: There's no guarantee that your classroom management strategy works every time. There will always be instances that suggest you that you should probably adapt a different style.

This may have happened to you as well. So explain to the interviewer the different steps to get rid of the monotony or boredom amongst the students. 7. What would your typical classroom look like to a person who walks into your class? Please describe a typical pattern in your class? Answer: It totally depends on your teaching and classroom management style. Do not describe something that's not entirely true only to make it sound interesting. But if it is something interesting that happens in your class then it will definitely impress the interviewer. 8. Do you give enough attention to all the students in class or do you prefer involving only selected students to be involved with the class activities? Answer: Many teachers have their favorite set of students. It need not mean that they are biased towards them; in fact it may mean that those are the only selective ones who always want to participate. For students who do not participate enough in class, the teacher must come up with ideas to involve such students as well. This would increase your class participation. Every class has different students. So, depending on your prior experience narrate such an instance along with the steps you took to ensure better class participation. 9. You must have come across times when students misbehave in class. How do you manage inappropriate behavior by students? Answer: Its not every time, when students have a fight, you need to take them to the Principal or punish them hard. A simple talk with them is also sufficient most of times. You could say something similar or in the same lines. 10. What is that one common classroom management technique that you would suggest to all your fellow teachers to adapt and one that you'd want them to discard? Answer: You could say that pairing up the students and encouraging group activities is something that all teachers should adapt as it always works well for effective classroom management. And also that shouting and yelling over a whisper could be discarded as it is completely unnecessary. You may have many such suggestions and opinions of your own. Take the chance to speak your mind when given an opportunity. . What is your favorite subject and why? (If your current content area is different than your favorite or if you have applied for others as well, then the interviewer may ask you the reason for change)

What do you have to say about the content in the textbooks? Do you think it is relevant to the childs age and is it vast for him/ her to cope up with? Answer: Usually the curriculum is designed according to the grade level. Hence, you should emphasize that it is not the curriculum that is vast but it is due to teachers inability to manage the class as well as stay up to date with the completion of the portion. 3. If are given an opportunity to be a part of the curriculum development team, what are some of the initiatives youd like to take? Answer: Many teachers would be glad to get such an opportunity.

Answer: Being a teacher it is a good practice to update oneself with the current changes and developments in the relevant content area or subject. Not only does it help in increasing your knowledge on the subject but it also helps your students as you most probably would also share it with your students in class. Sharing such nits and bits could also assist you in better class participation. 5. What kind of tests do you normally give to students? Answer: A test is nothing but an assessment for students to check on their understanding and knowledge about the subject. However, children who are not that good in studies should be given other tests to improve their learning and grasping abilities. In your previous experience, if you have prepared tests to check other skills of the students, explain them to the interviewer. 6. Have you also held tests to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your students? Was it effective? Answer: Tests to check on students strengths and weaknesses should always help in their development. Hence, if you have prepared such tests then explain how did they help you and the students in their performance. 7. Do you use any extra teaching material in your class than the ones that are available and sin use, including books? Answer: Many a times besides the regular book of studies, teachers do carry extra books, models, etc to make the class more interesting, so that the students also get something new to learn or learn something in a new way. Highlight the instances when you used extra materials to make the class more interesting and also explain how it helped the students. 8. What are the significant changes you expect to see in the curriculum in future? Answer: Every teacher has an opinion on this and so would you. Name some of the crucial changes you expect and also support it with a reason as to why do you feel such a change is necessary. Sample Teacher Interview Sample Questions Previous || Next 1. Do you believe in designing and following lesson plans? Answer: For teachers, lesson plans play a very important role in achieving better class participation and it also helps tremendously in classroom management. If you are an experienced teacher then youd know the importance of lesson plans and if you dont try and prepare a plan for a lesson then describe the same to the interviewer. 2. What are the different points you consider when preparing a lesson plan? Answer: You can express your views saying When preparing a lesson plan, many points should be considered such as the level of thinking and grasping ability of the students, the way in which you could simply certain points for the students for easy understanding, the activities to carry out during the lessons to achieve healthy class participation etc. 3. If you teach two different subjects would your lesson plans vary with the subject or would it remain the same for both? Answer: A good way of answering this would be The lesson plans will always change with the subject. To expect English lesson plans to work for Science class is quite inappropriate. This is because the contents of the subjects are very different from each other. For a subject like Science, the teacher needs to have a more practical approach whereas for a subject like English

such an approach is not necessarily required. You can change the subjects as per your requirements. 4. On a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate yourself in organizational skills? Answer: A teachers profession requires exemplary organizational skills. Lack of it can impact negatively on their quality of teaching and in turn would also do harm to students learning. Being organized may not be an in-built trait but one can work to improve their organizational skills. So, if you think you are currently not as organized as you are expected as a teacher, tell the interviewer with conviction about the ways in which you plan to improve your organizational skills. 5. According to your understanding and experience, do you think lesson plans should vary as per the grade also as you think it should in the case of subjects? Answer: The level of understanding, thinking and grasping ability varies with age and grade. Because of such reasons and many others, the lesson plans would most definitely change with the change in grade. 6. Your subject is English. So tell us about your ideal lesson plan for students in Grade 5 for the same. Answer: Its always easier to explain if you are asked to come down to specifications. The reason being, if you are thorough with your work and your style of work, you should not have trouble in describing your ideal lesson plan or anything similar. Your lesson plans may not differ from another teacher but the ideas and reasoning behind your plan would be different from the other teacher. So, you cannot be compared on the basis of how elaborate you are with the plan, but what do you intend to achieve with it and if the plan helps in achieving the same. 7. On what basis do you give homework to your students and how much is the quantity? Answer: Depending on the grade, the amount of homework and the pattern of it would differ. An eighth grade student might be asked to self study on a certain topic and write an essay on the same. However, for a fifth or a sixth grader, homework would be much simpler than in the case of the former student. Besides covering the syllabus, you may have different reasons for giving homework to your students. Tell the interviewers about the same and also about what you aim to achieve out of it. 8. Besides the daily lesson plans, do you also prepare short-term and long-term plans to finish your syllabus by the end of the term or do you rely upon your daily lesson plans? Answer: Daily lesson plans may fail sometimes due to various unforeseen reasons and you may have to catch up with it later. Hence, daily plans should not be relied upon to achieve short-term plans. Of course, it goes hand-in-hand but teachers should also have separate short-term and long-term plans to achieve what they desire to. 9. How do you help your students to meet their deadlines on homework, projects etc.? Answer: Teachers should not simply focus on completing their syllabus but they should also hold themselves responsible for students and try their best to support them in meeting their deadlines as well as enhance their learning ability. Giving tips on how to complete homework on time and providing ideas on the ways to do projects could be very useful for students. 10. How do you meet your deadlines? Can you tell us about any instance when you could not complete your task or work on time and the strategies you used that helped you finish your work on time? Answer: One of the biggest fears of any teacher is to finish the syllabus on time. Many a times, due to various reasons it becomes difficult to finish it on time. It happens with almost all teachers and one must come up with ideas to cover up the portion missed or are lagging behind. Narrate

such an incidence to the interviewer and the different steps you took to ensure it was done on time without compromising with the quality of teaching. Sample Teacher Interview Sample Questions Previous || Next 1. Do you prefer working with a certain kind of student? For e.g., who is intelligent or sincere or do you think it is a teacher's responsibility to teach any kind of a student, regardless of whether he / she is intelligent or weak? Answer: All teachers would prefer students who are sincere, but all may not be as intelligent as the others. Teachers must take the challenge of teaching an academically weak student as whole heartedly as they take interest in teaching an academically strong student. A teacher should try as much to his / her ability to help a student succeed academically. Academics are not the only point that teachers should emphasize on. Their over-all development, discipline, attitude etc. should also be given importance to. Assuming that you may have the same ideology as a teacher, you could answer along the same lines as mentioned here. 2. Do you give equal opportunities to all the students in class or do you distribute the responsibilities based on the skills of the students? Answer: As a teacher if you don't give equal opportunities to students, it is considered as being biased towards a few. Although that could be true, responsibilities should be given to students depending on what they are good at. In most cases, the teacher may not recognize the skills of the students unless they give them an opportunity. So giving opportunities is the teachers responsibility and encouraging the students to come forward to participate is also an additional trait that a teacher should possess. 3. How do you normally work with a weak student in your class? How do you encourage such students? Answer: No student is weak as such. The student may be poor academically but it is incorrect to declare such a child as a weak student. He/she may be good at other co-curricular activities. There could be a number of reasons why a student does not perform academically well. To find those reasons is a teacher's responsibility. Once the problem with the student is recognized and understood by the teacher, it should be easy for them to resolve it. A teacher may need to invest more time and effort with such a student but if taken the right approach depending upon the personality and inhibitions of the child, he/she could be as good as the other students in class. 4. If one of your students was to describe you, how do you think he/she would describe you? Answer: This is not the time to praise you to skies but it also does not mean that you only highlight your negatives. Maintaining moderate modesty, tell them how you communicate with your students in class and if your student was to describe you, he/she would probably say that you are friendly and understanding; you do not scold or shout unnecessarily etc. Do not ever compare yourself with other teachers and try to portray yourself as the best. Give an honest answer! 5. Based on your experience, do you think teachers should personalize instructions according to the ability of the individual students in class? Or do you think one form of instruction should be followed in class as it would be more feasible for the teacher? Answer: Of course, it would be convenient for the teacher to follow one form of instruction for the entire class. However, the fact of the matter is that the individual capabilities of students vary

in a class and the teachers need to understand that. To obtain full class participation, it is important that every student in the class understands what's being taught. With the body language of the students, the teachers can gage the individual's potential to contemplate and grasp what's being told in the class. If the teacher observes an indifferent nature, he/she should try to simplify the instructions so that student can interpret it correctly and work accordingly. 6. How do you deal with children with difficult behaviors? How do you establish good relations with such students? Answer: Students with difficult behaviors are easy to deal with. One to one approach serves best in establishing healthy relations with such students. The difficult behavior of a student may be the result of some mental tension at home or otherwise. Understanding the cause of such behavior is the most important step. Once the student starts to confide in the teacher with his/her inhibitions, concerns, troubles or problems, it becomes easy for the teacher to discipline such children. Mostly, it's the underlying causes that lead children to behave unpleasantly. Once the teacher builds a bridge across the student, it becomes easier to communicate and lead the child to the right direction. 7. Any struggle you have had in the past with slow learners? If yes, how did you overcome the issue and how did you make them match up with the rest of the class? Answer: The answer to this can be referred back to the one where we mentioned about individualized instructions based on the learning ability of the student. 8. Do you often appreciate students, especially slow learners who work hard to perform well and succeed? Answer: Appreciation is one of the keys to maintain good student-teacher relationships. More significantly, it acts as a great morale booster for students who were not so good in studies or other activities before and are much better at it now. A smile, a good remark, an appreciation in front of the class are some of the small gestures where a teacher does not need to take much efforts and yet it makes a considerable difference in the attitude and performance of the student.

Answer: Besides teaching, a teacher also needs to get involved in other group activities amongst students and teachers. They are also required to work with other teachers and staff to conduct and manage certain activities in school. Q2. What are the various extra-curricular activities that you have participated in the past? What was your contribution in the same? Answer: As mentioned earlier, being a teacher does not just involve teaching but also involves participating and contributing in various activities in the school. Describe your previous roles in such activities. Also, emphasize the extent to which you had to interact with other teachers and staff. Q3. What are your strengths and weaknesses when you are a part of a team? Answer: When answering this question, think of the different contributions that you have made in the activities undertaken with colleagues in the past. Based on the same, draw your strengths and weaknesses.

Q4. Are you open to feedback from your colleagues? Answer: One should not get offended by the feedback from co-workers or colleagues. In fact, feedback coming from colleagues or even students should be taken positively. Its always good to learn something new and hence instead of retaliating, one should ponder upon the feedback and implement it in a similar situation. Q5. What are your general expectations from your co-teachers and other staff members? Answer: A co-operative and conflict free environment is what a teacher would mostly desire as working in a school requires teachers and other staff to get together often to conduct various activities for the students. Also for the students, it is very important to have a dignified set of teachers and staff members as they are immediate role models they look up to when to comes to maintaining discipline. Sample Teacher Interview Sample Questions Previous || Next 1. Do you think parent-teacher relationships are important? If yes, why do you think it is vital? Answer: Parent-teacher relationships are indeed very important. The reason why its so important is because it plays a crucial role in the growth and development of the child. There may be concerns a parent and teacher may have and each of their concern may not be recognized by the other unless they hold a meeting together or conduct whats called a parent-teacher interview. 2. Do you think maintaining good parent-teacher relationship makes any difference to the child? As in, do you think that the concerns or complaints of either party can be resolved with a healthy parent-teacher relationship? Answer: A child may seem unhappy, distracted, lonely or inattentive in class due to many reasons. To figure out the reasons the teachers must take the initiative to speak his / her parents as such behavior of the child may do harm to his/ her performance and the overall development. 3. Do you wait for a special occasion to share your concerns about an unhappy child with the parents or do you ensure that you meet them at the earliest to understand whats going on with the child? Answer: It is not unusual to find that parent-teacher meetings are held in all schools. However, teachers must not wait for the given date to meet the parents if something about the child requires immediate attention. Hence, it is important that the teachers do not neglect a childs behavior till the parent-teacher meeting date arrives. 4. How do you communicate your various concerns about the student to his / her parents? Answer: With this question the interviewer wants to check how you build relationships with parents. Its easy for anyone to point out mistakes and concerns about a child but to say it upfront to the parents is quite inappropriate. We are talking about parents and their children here and therefore, it is sensitive issue and should be dealt with in a soft way. Being critical about it could be one way that many may follow but it certainly is not the right way to go about it. Share and discuss your concerns about the child. Discuss further about the reasons behind the problem and the steps that could be taken to help the child. 5. In your previous experience, what are the different reasons for which you contacted the parents? Answer: As mentioned earlier, there may be many reasons why a teacher may wish to speak

with the parents. It totally depends on the teacher to decide whats not so important and what must be shared and discussed with the parents. 6. In parent-teacher meetings, do you often emphasize on parent involvement? Answer: In most families both parents require to work to maintain a good lifestyle and to ensure financial security. Because of this, not intentionally; but parents do tend to neglect their children. Whether the child is eating well and going to school regularly must not be the only concern of a parent. There are many emotional and behavioral changes that parents need to address. Teachers must take some stance in making the parents realize the same. In every parent-teacher meeting, a teacher must ask the parents of their involvement in their childs studies, sports or other activities and also try to gage how much quality time they spend with the child. 7. On an average how much time do you take to give feedback to the parents about their children? Answer: You could say The time I allot to each feedback is totally subjective. This is because every student is different, right from their performance to their behavior and involvement/participation in class. For e.g. to the parents of a student who does well in studies as well as extracurricular activities can only be given positive feedback. To the parents of a student who is not performing well in studies will be given constructive feedback. This would also involve discussing about his / her behavioral changes in class, lack of attention etc. 8. What are your thoughts on handling difficult parents? How would you handle such parents personally? Answer: It is important for a teacher to stay calm and be polite no matter how difficult the parents be. Please note that it does not mean that one must put up with the inappropriate behavior. Teaching is a respectable position and if the parents dont take the teachers feedback positively it would only do bad to their child. To the question where you are asked how would personally handle such parents, you could say something like I would try to make these parents understand how important it is to take the feedback positively and how it may hamper the performance of the child if they do not consider it. Sample Teacher Interview Sample Questions Previous || Next 1. Do you have one instructional technique that you always rely upon if nothing works? Answer: To maintain order in class and for better class management, teachers prefer to have one technique that they can always rely upon in case the drafted lesson plan fails or does not work as effectively as planned.

Every class has children with different learning abilities. How do you manage to get everyone on the same page? Answer: One form of instruction may not work all the time, especially for lessons that could be difficult to understand for children of a particular age. In such cases, a teacher must try to figure

out a simplest possible way to make it easier for the student. Another important point that could help a teacher immensely is to know about the individuals strengths and weaknesses. If you personally know your student, you would have a better idea on how to relate to that students level of understanding. 4. Do your students respond well to your teaching style or your instructional technique? If you dont see a positive result or if you notice that your planned technique is ineffective, do you come up with an impromptu technique? Answer: It is the teachers responsibility to ensure that all the instructional techniques that he / she adapts in order to run the class successfully is most effective in imparting the knowledge to the students.

What is that one quality that you think makes teaching different than other professions? Answer: Teaching is unlike other professions where there is a lot of competition, healthy and unhealthy. The performance of the teacher does matter but for a teacher, what is more rewarding is a childs intellectual growth and development and imparting good values in them than simply looking for personal growth. The main goal of a teacher is to look after the students and to prepare them to step outside in the world with all the knowledge, confidence and skills that will help them succeed in a highly competitive world. 8.

Do you encourage your students for computer based activities and how do you guide them through it? Answer: Children are more inclined towards technology and teachers are also aware of the amount of knowledge that a student can acquire with the use of it. Hence, naturally students love to carry out computer based activities. Mention the same first and then explain as to how do you guide them through such activities.

6. What do you have to say about the use of internet in schools? And as students may not use it wisely, what are the different methods you could suggest to monitor the use of it? Answer: Many schools do allow the use of internet in school these days. There is possibility that the school that you are interviewing for also allows the use of internet. Share your ideas on the monitoring system for the same. 7. If you are to choose between classroom teaching and e-learning, what would you prefer and why? Answer: Both the options have its advantages and disadvantages. You being a teacher would most probably find classroom teaching as a better option amongst the two. However, its not necessary.

Teaching Questions and Answers:

Do you have any collection of Interview Questions and interested to share with us!! Please send that collection to iq@GlobalGuideline.Com along with the category and sub category information

1 :: Why do you want to teach?

This is the fundamental question! They will be looking for evidence that teaching is your first choice career and not something you are going for because you couldn't get in to what you really wanted to do. Teaching is a tough job and the PGCE also demands resilience and determination, so the selectors are looking for evidence of strong motivation which will keep you going when things get tough. Remember that there may be several applicants per place and they will take the best all-round candidates. Your answer should stress that you are aware of the demands on teachers - perhaps giving examples from the time you spent in school as an observer, but give evidence of the things in

teaching that you would find satisfying - e.g. when you helped out at a youth club and you were able to bring out a particularly reticent adolescent. Try to give your answers from the heart show some enthusiasm!

2 :: Why are you applying to this particular teaching course?

The interviewers will be looking to see that you appreciate the strengths of different courses and have made an informed decision. For example, Birmingham schools will have substantial ethnic minority populations, so courses there may be looking for an understanding of multi-cultural issues and how this would effect your teaching of your subject. Read the prospectus carefully before your interview. If you know the area well mention how this could benefit you by allowing you to settle in quickly on the course If the institution has a good reputation then feel free to give this as a reason. Beware focusing on the quality of the institution more than the qualities you yourself will be bringing. Use any opportunity you get to demonstrate your own strengths. As the question is "Why are you applying..?" you could answer that you feel this particular institution will give you the best opportunity to develop your strengths and qualities.

3 :: What were the qualities of a teacher you admired?

Talk honestly about a teacher you liked at school or perhaps one at university, or during your period of observation in the classroom - try to analyze what qualities made them successful. They will be looking for evidence of enthusiasm for teaching in your reply. Qualities could include using a variety of different teaching methods, being able to hold the attention of the class, ability to enthuse, energy, resilience, empathy, subject knowledge and making children think rather than being told. Here they will not be looking for a specific answer. A government recruitment campaign for teaching was very much along these lines. In it celebrities described what they liked most about their favorite teacher. The single attribute of caring for their pupils is one that is often missed in these circumstances. In order to teach effectively it is vital that a teacher enjoys the company of young people and wants to make a positive contribution to their well-being.

4 :: What would you find difficult about teaching?

Teaching is a tough job and selectors won't choose you if you tell them how wonderful you would find teaching with no appreciation of the negatives. Teachers complain about bureaucracy and paperwork, badly behaved pupils, Government interference and lack of resources. You need show that you are aware of these issues - the best way is to talk to teachers about them, but still have a positive, if pragmatic, view of the teaching profession. Talking about a current classroom where you have spent some time will add weight to your arguments. Give an example of a difficulty. This could be the idea that new initiatives introduced by government appear to undermine or conflict with the previous initiatives. This is a common complaint among teachers. Show in your answer that while you might find it difficult you would nonetheless do your best to continue with the best interests of the children in mind. In other words you will get over the difficulties whatever they may be.

5 :: What have you got to offer as a teacher?

Some of the main qualities required are: A professional approach - make sure that you dress very smartly for your interview. Good handwriting and spelling - especially for primary - make sure that you have a pen with you as you may be given a written test. Clarity of speech Openness to new ideas Ability to take criticism Listening and sensitivity to others. You need to be able to put across your strong points during the interview - if you can't do this effectively your selectors may be entitled to reason that you wouldn't be able to put your ideas across effectively in the classroom. previous123456next Select appropriate Question to view its more answers in this category of Teaching.

6 :: What experience do you have in schools?

For primary teacher training, school experience is crucial. You may be asked to describe the school and asked to comment on what interested or surprised you. You should make sure that you have spent a few days helping out in a school before your interview. For secondary teaching courses this experience is not so essential, partly because the competition for places is less great, and partly because such experience is more difficult to arrange. You should approach schools several months before you would like to spend time with them as they may have to take up references. Of course, the easiest school to get a placement may be your old school. Experience can either be for a number of consecutive days or perhaps for one morning or afternoon per week over a number of weeks.

If you haven't spent time in a school try to emphasize anything else you have done with children or in a teaching role such as youth clubs, playschemes, Sunday school helper, drama activities, Scout or Guide leader.

7 :: What is the relevance of your degree to the National Curriculum?

You need to show how your degree course relates to the National Curriculum. This is relatively easy if you have done a relevant degree, but if you are applying for primary with a non-National Curriculum degree in psychology, for example, you need in this case to carefully relate the elements in your psychology degree to the elements in the primary curriculum. Similar questions might ask you what you think you would be teaching in your specialist area, or about areas of your subject in which you feel weak. You must concentrate on the positive. You should be prepared to dissect your degree up into the appropriate component parts and show evidence of particularly English, Maths and Science if you are applying to Primary teacher training or your chosen subject area if Secondary.

8 :: How would you make your subject interesting to a class of uninterested low ability pupils?
Selectors will be looking for someone who shows ideas and creativity, trying to interact and stimulate, rather than just talking at the class. This is a chance for you to show your enthusiasm for teaching. They won't expect your ideas to be polished, but you could mention games, wall charts, projects and case studies, role playing, splitting up into small groups - whatever might be appropriate for your subject. You could also talk about the transition from a literary to a screen-based culture for many young people and how you would react to this. You may have been able to glean ideas from the time you spent helping in a school or from discussions with teachers. Your answer could include how you would canvass advice from your colleagues on what to do in these circumstances. Perhaps they have taught the particular class in question and can make some suggestions. A similar question you could be asked is about the resources you could use to teach your subject.

9 :: Would you be able to manage/discipline a group of 35 pupils?

This is a crucial ability and of course a successful teacher will be able to manage groups of pupils by the carrot, only needing to resort to the (metaphorical!) "stick" as a last resort. Good organizational skills, self confidence, a robust personality - able to take criticism, maturity, presence, a sense of self confidence and a sense of humor are the qualities that will help you to manage a class without too much conflict. Give some examples, if you can, of related situations you have experienced. Have you been involved in any other types of group work that could be described as similar? How do you know you will be able to manage/discipline unless you have already tried it? What kind of presence you have and how loud your voice is could be important.

10 :: Can you cope with a very intensive course?

The PGCE is an intensive course - burning the midnight oil preparing for your next days teaching practice. Selectors will want to know that you are aware of this and have the commitment and stamina to cope. Perhaps you have already undergone such a demanding course. If so you should describe it now and in detail. If you have had experience of working and studying at the same time then you should certainly bring that up. Part of the intensity is the act of juggling the study elements of the course with the practical elements during teaching practice. If you have previous experience of work, or perhaps a hobby or interest, in which a lot of preparation was demanded this would also be relevant. Any teacher will tell you that a successful day's teaching results from the hard graft put into preparing it the day or week before. And the bottom line is that if you can cope with the intensity of the teacher training course you are very likely to be able to cope with the demands of teaching proper.

11 :: Do you think that extra-curricular activities are important?

They will be looking for evidence that you want to contribute to the school as a whole rather than being a teacher who leaves each day as soon as school finishes. A simple "Yes" answer won't do here. Talk about areas in which you could get involved. These could include musical events, drama, sports teams, computer systems, fund raising, crafts, trips abroad and many others. Great skill would not be needed, just enthusiasm, but if you can give evidence of involvement in any of these areas it may go in your favor. Clubs and societies at university could be mentioned, especially if you have taken on an organizational or management role. Also, if you have a particular ability, such as you are a good swimmer, tuba player, tap dancer etc, then you should declare it. It could be the means by which you add that little bit extra to a school and are able to get the attention and interest of the pupils.

12 :: Testing in schools - is this good or bad?

Here they are testing whether you have done your research - if you had no views or knowledge of this, it might call into question your commitment - bear in mind that most courses will have many more applicants than places to choose from. All they will be looking for will be an ability to talk intelligently on the subject for a few minutes. They will not mind which side of the argument your views fall on as long as you can appreciate both the positive and negative points - don't be didactic! Similar questions might cover the pros and cons of grant maintained schools, how would you deal with a disruptive pupil or other issues in teaching. Simply make sure you've read around the subject a little and talked to teachers about these issues. A good starting point is the Education Guardian on Tuesdays, and the Times Educational Supplement. These questions might be asked as part of a group interview.

13 :: Have you any questions about Teaching?

You could ask questions about where your teaching placements would be and how these would be chosen, or about how you are assessed on the course. The best questions to ask are those that you really would like to know the answer to, rather than those you can find in books on interview skills. If you research the company well enough, you will find a number of questions naturally arising that you wish to be answered. You should, though, concentrate on questions that show your interest in, and motivation to do, the job itself, rather than the rewards it will bring. So, for example, you should ask about training and career progression in preference to pay and pensions! Other questions you might like to ask include: "How are practical and academic assessments weighted on the course?" "How are previous students doing now?" "What plans do you have to cover the Literacy Hour initiative?" "What sort of curriculum and teaching resources do you provide?"
