InterviewI applied through college or university. I interviewed at New York City Department of Education (New York, NY)
Initial interview can be a a Jobs Fair run by the NYC DOE. Getting hired is primarily adopting whatever the current stance is of the Chancellor at that time. Focuses can change year to year. You must be EXTREMELY politically correct to even make it past the first 30 seconds. Your value increasing proportionately to how much you're viewed as someone who will follow the rules, not rock the boat, and be totally subordinate to the Principals & Assistant Principals.
Interview Questions
- How do you put yourself in the position of the student and relate to the students (good questions). How come you're switching careers to teach (with great suspicion). 2nd interview: Create a lesson plan & teach a model class in front of the principal. (can be okay if they give you parameters)
