Need advice on upcoming interview

by Carol

Apr 1, 2013

I was hired in the public school I student taught in and recruited by the principal of a Catholic school, so have not done a lot of interviewing for teaching postions! Can you please give me some idea of what questions they ask? This will also be in a Catholic school.

Many thanks, Carol

Sharon Your school looks lovely...can I pick your brain? Are private schools really better than public schools? I'm not happy with my school district simply teaching to the tests with no creativity or thinking outside the box. Is private school really any different? Thanks!

Catholic School versus Public School

by Anna

Apr 14, 2013

I'm not happy with the education my children are receiving in the public school system. I've talked to several parents who sent their children to Catholic school and are very happy. Can anyone give me an unbiased opinion of their experience with Catholic school versus the public school system? Thanks.

Lynn I think it depends on your focus. I am a public school teacher who went to Catholic schools. I have educated my 4 children in all sorts of ways: homeschool, private, Catholic and public.

Interview in a private Catholic School

by Julie

May 7, 2013

I have an interview at a Private Catholic School next week. Does an interview for a private school differ from a public school?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Teacher Seeking Work

by Maura

Jun 27, 2013

Hello - I'm a recently retired teacher who hopes to rejoin the work force. Retirement is not for me! I'm in Ulster County, New York. I'm willing to work at base pay. If there are any administrators out there who anticipate any job openings please email me. I would also consider a long term substitute/leave replacement position. Thanks!

2 Interviews- check, check!

by SusieQ

Jul 15, 2013

They had 50 applicants, they chose 10 to phone interview, then they had 4 interview 2 hours each on campus. I feel it went well but they still need to interview the other 3 on Wednesday. They said I should hear something by Friday. I hope that I'm the lucky one that gets offered the position! I loved the staff, campus, and classroom!

SusieQ I got the job!

Pen pals for small first grade class

by Diana

Sep 4, 2013

First let me say that I do not teach in a private school. I teach in a public school in South Carolina. I came to this board hoping to find a small class of first graders to partner with in a year-long pen pal project.

I have posted on the Project Board, and all of the responses that I have received are from large classes (23 to 30!!) ...See More
