I NEED advise. I was a stay at home mom. I have strong background in Math and science and passed GACE at first try. I changed careers and received a teaching position via provisional certificate. Following that I received a teaching position at Title I school. As a alternate route teacher I interned and have not done student teaching. I struggled with classroom management and my students performed average on CRCT. The school had not meet AYP during two years I taught there. The school has HIGH turnover of teachers and infamous for it. At end of the 2nd year I resigned to concentrate on finishing my classes and family, to regain my composure and to receive teaching certificate I also took some classroom management classes and observed good teachers/ volunteered at my children's school.
Since then (one and half academic year) I have received my Masters of Education and teaching certificate. How do I go about getting a teaching job? How do I answer questions about classroom management? How can I show that I can channel my knowledge in teaching?
How do I answer questions about classroom management? Explain that classroom management was a weakness, so you have worked very hard in that area and feel confident that you will be able to manage a classroom well, now.
How can I show that I can channel my knowledge in teaching? Have you done student teaching? Do you have recent references? Do you have a portfolio? You need to be able to sell yourself as a competent teacher.
