Mastering Creative Teacher Interviews - School Administrators Mastermind

What this episode covers

Join us for an insightful conversation with Joshua Stamper and Katie Miglin as we dive into the best practices for interviewing teachers. Discover creative questions and innovative strategies to find the perfect candidates for your school. In this session, we explore what unique questions can reveal about a candidate’s priorities and approach to teaching. For instance, we discuss questions like, "If you had to rank classroom management, pedagogy, and relationships, what order would you put them in and why?" and "If I stopped the average teacher in your building and asked them the best part about working here and the most challenging part, what would they say?" Learn about the key qualities to look for during interviews and the importance of thorough reference checks. We emphasize the need to invest time in gaining comprehensive information about candidates to avoid non-renewal processes later. Additionally, we discuss the benefits of incorporating students authentically into the interview process, using student ambassadors to greet candidates and engage them in unscripted, genuine interactions. Furthermore, we delve into how to structure interviews for a thorough understanding of a candidate's fit for your school. This includes facilitating games with students, assessing screening processes, and using lightning round questions to get to know candidates better. Don’t miss out on these expert insights to enhance your teacher interview process and find the best fit for your school community.
