Special education teacher interview questions.
Interview committees, when they’re interviewing
special education teacher candidates, are
looking for empathetic and child-centered
candidates during their selection process.
There is a desperate need for caring and understanding
professionals to work with children with special
needs.
To help you along, here are a few special
education teacher interview questions that
are typical of the kind of questions asked.
What steps would you take to establish an
inclusion class in science that will utilize
a co-teacher for the first time?
If you are the teacher for a support class
with eight students, what steps will you take
to assist those students in the completion
of work for their regular education classes?
How will you work with the regular education
teachers on each student's behalf?
Special education students often see themselves
as second-class students, less worthy than
their regular education classmates.
What can you as the teacher do to minimize
such self-esteem problems?
These sample questions are taken from chapter
16, entitled “Special Education Interviews”
of Dr Robert Pollock’s book entitled “Teacher
Interviews”.
In this chapter, Dr Pollock gives more sample
interview questions, as well as a detailed
run down of how each should be answered.
This is so as to convince the interviewing
committee that the candidate is a right fit
for the job.
