Interviewing updates
I went to my interview on yesterday and I thought it went really well. There were only six questions:
Tell me about your background and how it relates to the job that I am applying for.
Tell me how you want students to see you.
Why do I want to teach.
How do you handle behavior management problems.
How would you handle a block 8 schedule.
I can't remember the other three. I was calm and relaxed and answered every question as complete as possible. I really focused on wanting to encourage students to succeed and being the inspiration and encouragment to help them to succeed. After the interview questions the asst. principal talked about the new school reform project that includes having students, freshmen and sophomore, separated into one of four different academies. Each academy will focus on a particular category of careers. Academy 1 will be arts, language arts, humanities. Academy 2 will be math and sciences, Academy 3 will be business and technology, and Academy 4 will be health and human services. The different academies will be apart of a team. The purpose is to help foster relationships between students and teachers in the hopes that it will help students to be more successful. I've been sitting on pins and needles wondering if I got the job. I think that I did good in the interview, but there's always someone better. I couldn't sleep last night thinking that I didn't get it and how miserable I would be if I had to stay in my current job. I feel like it's so close, but yet so far away. If I don't get it I'll feel like I'm being punished by bad karma. I'll think that my passive aggressiveness is catching up to me. I'll think that I've been too prideful and that this is a humbling experience. I'll be so devastated. I was depressed last night thinking about it. I stayed up late listening to aretha franklin and eating cupcakes. Man, I need a new life.
