Hi! Just did my interview for untrained stint in pri (art).
Does anyone know if this increases/decreases my chances of getting in?
- at the end of interview, one of the interviewers told me that I should keep in mind to articulate better and not use “ums” and “ahs” since as a teacher we are supposed to speak properly. (edit: I’m usually loud and a clear speaker, so I’m assuming (and hope) that she was referring to my excessive use of fillers..)
- i faced a couple of hiccups at the start and the interviewers seemed annoyed. during my presentation of the lesson plan, it was cut short (although the interviewer mentioned it is because they just want to get a feel of how i conduct a lesson). Another lady (HR?) looked through most of my portfolio.
- i was asked quite a few questions, which were:
- why do you want to be a teacher?
- do you know that as a teacher you are not only to teach arts. but also handle other matters? do you know what they are?
- do you know what a form teacher is/what they are in charge of?
- do you think you are capable of being a form teacher?
- how would your friends describe you?
I feel like i screwed up my interview even though i was prepared
