Interview Questions I Didn't Like

1. Would you rather try a lot of way-out teaching strategies or would you rather try to perfect the approaches which work best for you? Explain your position. 2. Do you like to teach with an overall plan in mind for the year, or would you rather just teach some interesting things and let process determine the results? Explain your position. 3. If there were absolutely no restrictions placed upon you, what would you most want to do in life? 4. How do you go about deciding what it is that should be taught in your class? 5. When you have some free time, what do you enjoy doing the most? 6. How do you go about finding what students are good at? There are 7 more similar questions for the paper application. Some of these are poorly written (how do you go about) and this in itself dampens my interest in the district.
