Recreation coordinator Interview Questions

Being a people person, sports minded, and creative.

why: I want to become more skilled with students in small groups, afterschool programming, like being creative to plan activities, like working with young kids on literacy skills difficult situations: pull kid aside and talk to them to find out why. move them away from activity for awhile, come up with behavior plan

I like being creative to plan activities. I like working with kids on reading concepts. First I give a verbal warning then after talking to them twice I take them away from the situation by changing seats or owing me time. If it continues they lose a privilege and we come up with behavior plan

In my current job I find myself having to discipline kids. One girl was being unsafe on the swing. I told her if I had to talk to her again she wouldn't be allowed to play with the swing for the rest of recess. Later some students complained she was going too high so I told her she couldn't use the swing the rest of recess. Another boy was not being safe with the play equipment after three offenses I had him sit out for 5 minutes asked him why he was sitting out and then was specific in why he was sitting out

recently in my summer job I had to discipline kids several times. One girl was being unsafe on the swing pushing it too high and too fast. I gave her a warning that if it happens again she loses her right to the swing. Some other kids complain she was going too high so I told her she can't play on the swing for the rest of recess. Another boy kept making fun of another kid and threw another girl's hair clip in a pitcher of water. After repeated warnings I sent him to the afterschool director

Gave a plan for each program and broke down a budget

This is a tough one. You need to answer honestly. For me I work in therapeutics already. So I would say "not one child is the same even if they have a similar disability. Every child needs to be treated fair but not equal. Children with disabilities are often misunderstood and are much smarter then you may think. You must have patients and a caring heart.

Because I'm compassionate
