Questions for determining teachers potential

Posted by teacher on December 29, 2010

I am well-versed at integrating computer technology into the classroom, what kind of resources does the school have available?

Do teachers work in teams? If so, how is this organized?

I have always been successful with getting parents involved in the classroom, how active are parents at this school or within the school district?

What is the student/teacher ratio?

I have been instrumental in developing new programs in previous positions I have held. Will the school be implementing any new programs this year, or require input to develop programs already in place?

Will the school be addressing any major issues this year?

I consider myself a life-long learner, what professional development opportunities will be available?

If you are new to the industry you may ask, “Is there a mentor teacher program available?”

When do you hope to reach a decision as to who the successful candidate will be, or what is the next step in the hiring process?
