Experience
with this Director
I interviewed
with this Director and I
did work for him/her
Director's
interviewing style and information that
will help candidates
Come prepared.
I was asked to expound on my educational philosophy
and then handed a short passage to
read. I was then asked
to teach Mr. Page the concepts I had just
read, right there on the spot. I was asked
do this in terms of the educational philosophy
I had
just related. Mr. Page
also wanted to know what educational journals
I subscribe to and which of the latest theories
on learning styles I have found the most useful
in the classroom. I was caught off-guard but
managed
to get through it all. At the second interview
we basically just talked and I sensed he was
trying to determine if I would be a good fit
for the team of teachers already at the school.
After
the interview
After
the second interview I was asked to consider
if I felt this school would be the right school
for
me. I was ready to sign the contract and
I let him know that. He, however, planned to
continue interviewing candidates and
said he
would
offer
the position
to the top
candidate. I was offered the position on the
last
day of the conference and fortunately the other
school that offered me a position on the spot
was willing to wait. I feel Mr. Page represented
the school and school community accurately. The
move went smoothly.
Additional
comments, most
outstanding characteristic of this director,
etc.
I
think his most outstanding characteristic is
his ability to relate to different types of people
and make everyone feel like a valued member of
the team. Of course this is my experience and
your's
may be different. Overall I would recommend this
director and would work for him again at any
school.
