1. How long have you been teaching?

4. Did anyone influence your decisions to pursue the career that you did and the education that you did? If so, who?



5. Did you always know that you wanted to pursue a career in teaching?



6. If not, what career did you want to pursue as a child?



7. What was the hardest part when you first became a teacher, maybe in your first year?



8. What do you like the most about your job?



9. What do you like the least about your job?



10. What qualities do you think are necessary to be a teacher?



11. What do you think are the greatest challenges in teaching?



12. What does a typical day for you look like?

17. Overall, do you enjoy your job?



18. What would you do if you weren檛 a teacher?Teacher Career Interview questions?
Expansion of #11: After asking the greatest challenges, ask about what he/she has done to overcome them (or at least the biggest one)



Could ask if he/she has ever taught any other ages/subjects and which they prefer to teach...

Depending on the answer to this, you could ask for clarifications and that would go above the 20 minimum.



So far, I think you've asked very thoughtful questions. Nice to see someone writing an intelligent and well-written question. Your interview should be great!Teacher Career Interview questions?
How do you approach conflict with other people?



How do/ would you create and use curriculum?
19. What is the most memorable thing that has ever happened to you in the classroom?



20. If you could change one thing about the school system, what would it be and why?
Ask a question to do with salary and are they satisfied financially?
What forms of discipline do you use in your classroom?

What's the salary like?
