A weekly meeting would be more preferable to monitor student progress, which is usually held by sending a weekly parent newsletter. For grades 3 and above, a daily assignment book will do this job as their parents has to sign on their daily progress report. On disciplinary subject, you can call and talk to their parents.

This question will come up at almost every elementary school interview. It’s fairly common in the middle school and high school as well. You might have a weekly parent newsletter that you send home each week. For grades 3 and up, you may require students to have an assignment book that has to be signed each night. This way, parents know what assignments are given and when projects are due. When there are discipline problems you call home and talk to parents. It's important to have an open-door policy and invite parents to share their concerns at any time.

With the massive changes that computing is making on society today having ethics being someone a teacher thinks about and addresses is important to me.

This is important to me. I think teachers should make teaching personal and that means sharing your own history.

I think passion is huge. And it can’t easily be faked.

On their very first day, teacher must do following things

☛ Know the school policies

☛ Familiarize yourself with the school

☛ Meet your colleagues

☛ Make your material ready for the first day

☛ Prepare your lesson thoroughly and stay relax

☛ Make detailed lesson plans for the first week

☛ Teach something to the student that is easy for the student to learn, and spend last 5-10 chatting with the student

There are standardized assessments at almost every grade level. Be sure you know the names of the tests. Talk about your experiences preparing students. You'll get bonus points if you know and describe the format of the test because that will prove your familiarity.

If you interview in the United States, school administrators love to talk about state, local, or national standards! Reassure your interviewer that everything you do ties into standards. Be sure the lesson plans in your portfolio have the state standards typed right on them. When they ask about them, pull out your lesson and show them the close ties between your teaching and the standards.

Co-teaching is a new strategy adapted by teachers to teach a particular subject by sharing their responsibility. Co-teaching can be fun for the student learning one subject from two or more people who may have different ways of teaching or thinking.

The major reason for the drop out in school is observed to due to student’s lack of skill in reading, writing, mathematical, reasoning and other learning skills. Also, students who are drop out of school finds schooling boring and less interesting.
