ESL job interview question: If a student hits another student, what would you do?

Answer

I would immediately report the incident either to the Principal or to the Deputy Principal, and would document the event. In addition, if the situation is serious and threatening to health, I would restrain the child and I would ask for the security officer at the school to escort the child out of the classroom. I would also contact the parents.

I would actually try to protect the children involved. Hitting a student is not acceptable and such a case needs to be dealt with quickly.

ESL job interview question: What do you do to accommodate your students with IEPs?

Recommended answer:

Before I accommodate every student student with an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) I arrange discussions with the students' parents in order to learn about their specific needs. This allows me to design an effective program that addresses specific students' needs. In addition, I document regularly my evaluations of the students' academic behavior.

ESL job interview question: When can you start?

Answer

Do not hurry. Do not tell that you can start tomorrow. Perhaps there is a two or three months’ notice regulation or contract with your current employer. You should not hide the fact from your potential employer that you are still very much needed in your present position by your current employer and you are required, according to an agreement, to give him a three months’ notice. This will increase your value in the eyes of your potential employer.
