What type of classroom management structure would you implement if you were hired?

When you are applying for a teaching position, a typical job interview question is "What type of classroom management structure would you implement if you were hired?" If you have teaching experience, this question should be easy to answer, since you implement classroom management every day you teach. If you’re looking for your first teaching job, then you need to do some research, starting with the school and district you are interviewing with.

What is your teaching philosophy?

Your teaching philosophy is a reflection of your education and classroom experience, developed during college or graduate school and in the classrooms where you've taught. It defines your overall approach to teaching and is the guiding principle behind how you run your classroom. To prepare for your interview, take the time to focus, write, and reflect on your personal philosophy.
