So I have decided that I am no good at interviews contrary to my own belief. I was really nervous during the first interview. That was a first. The second interview was easier but now looking back I see that I approached it wrong. I researched my teaching pedagogy. I had all the right answers to all the questions asked. Bc that's what teaching is after all; finding the right answers to questionswhile using resources and research to find the best aporoach to the task at hand.
My problem was I gave general answers. It was difficult for me to provide specific examples. I hadn't thought about my lessons for some time. I brought samples of my lessons and samples of my student's writing but my nervous didn't all me to show them. Teaching is so different now. When I left teaching, phones, tablets, social apps were not allowed in school now they integrated daily. What wld Juliete text Romeo? faketext.com (forgot to say) I left both interviews confident, but now that I've had time to think about them, I am bummed. I think it's pretty clear I've been kept in my home too long. I've sold my photography for five years and been away from teaching too long to convince someone I was really good at it. Who knows they may still call. I'm sure there will be other schools. I just felt bad going to other interviews knowing I really wanted one of these schools. Like I said I approached it wrong. There's still time. I will not beat myself up over it.... Today I will focus on loving my 6 year old. It's her birthday today! Comments are closed.
