INTERVIEWING TEACHER CANDIDATES

One of the most important job responsibilities of the principals is to hire the best teaching candidates available. Remember, the candidate is also looking you over so it is important to ask thoughtful, insightful questions that get to the heart of the matter and reflect the values you wish to emphasize. The candidate may decide to select your school over others based on his or her feelings about the quality of the interview. The following are some helpful questions (this is not an exhaustive list) and ideas that might yield important information about teacher candidates. These questions can also help the teacher candidates to be prepared for the interview in a school of their choice.

  • In your opinion, how do children learn best?

  • What do you remember about your best teacher?

  • What would a visitor to your classroom hear, see, and experience?

  • If I were to speak to a friend who knows you well, what might the friend say to describe you?

  • When not in school, what do you enjoy doing?

  • What are your greatest professional strengths? Or After reading your recommendations, I’m curious about what you think a supervisor would say about your teaching?

  • If you could return to school or work with an expert mentor, what would you like to study? How would you like to grow?

  • Why, in your opinion, do some children have an easier time learning than others?

  • What are your beliefs about classroom management?

  • How should the “high flyer” student be taught? The student having difficulty?

  • How do you go about differentiating instruction?

  • How do you feel about professional development?

  • What other career would you pursue if you were not teaching?

  • If you could choose your No. 1 ideal position in our school, what would it be? What would your second choice be? Why?

  • What new ideas and teaching strategies do you think you can bring to this school?

  • What excites you about education?

  • Why should we hire you over other candidates?

  • It’s important that you don’t leave this interview thinking, “I wish I had mentioned that!” So, is there anything that you would like to tell me or that I should know about that we have not already discussed?

A helpful addition to an interview may be to request that a classroom photo album be brought (if available) to the interview by the candidate. Looking at the faces of the students or the walls of the classroom can tell much about the candidate. Many systems also show a video lesson and ask teacher to analyze it. A teacher portfolio (writing samples are especially helpful) or video of a lesson is invaluable.
Remember, general questions can be asked in any interview, but for a quality interview principals must add some insightful questions in their list of questions. This will help in identifying effective teacher candidate for the school and also give the appreciable picture of the principal’s interviewing skill.

Leadership Lessons: Four Corporate Learnings from Jesus

A recent article that featured on Mashable opines that had Jesus been born in 21st century, he would definitely be on Facebook and Twitter. “Head of Germany’s Catholic Church, Robert Zollitsch, has given everyone celebrating something new to think about the Christmas story. Zollitsch told a German newspaper that if Jesus were alive today, he’d be Facebook friends with all of his followers,” mentions the source.


Jesus suit Leadership Lessons: Four Corporate Learnings from Jesus

Because HIS teachings are interesting, you’ve been following HIS sermons closely. You have been very particular about the teachings of every spiritual or religious text. That said, you are also the type of person who would not buy into the idea of religion or spirituality without being able to cull out some practical learning from the clauses and chapters. So you sit down with the Bible to draw some corporate lessons from the religious text. That is what you are used to doing with everything else – draw lessons that you can apply to your work environment. Now that you have churned out some tips from something as unrelated as pop music, you believe that the life of Jesus would not disappoint you when it comes to formulating practices out of it.
GenX Education is willing to help. Below are four leadership lessons from the life of Jesus that can be integrated into your management style.
1. Sacrificial Leadership: The idea does not sound even a bit appealing you’d say, when you first hear the term sacrificial leadership. What Jesus propagated though, was being able to give up for what one completely believes in. An important leadership lesson, sacrificial leadership is also sometimes known as benevolent leadership. The crux is to be able to risk everything for the sake of what you believe is right; even if that means taking up the heat for the fault of a team member.
2. Art of Loneliness: Needless to say, some of the most renowned leaders who have been able to make a difference to the world, were loners. Of course they had innumerable followers; however, companions were few. Solitude steered towards a purpose – that is the mantra of a leader’s life. Even if they find themselves alone, they will work towards the greater good of all. In a work environment too, a leader is often isolated from the core group. Still, he has to take every decision in benefit of his team.
3. Team Work: A one man army is inefficient to handle significant tasks. For those who think that Jesus performed miracles alone, there is a need to reiterate that his army comprised 12 people. Team work is the essence of leadership. Without his team, a leader would rather feel lost and would be at the mercy of circumstances. For example, in a testing team, a tech lead will not have any control over the final quality of products if the team refuses to work in tandem and deliver on time.
4. Authenticity: Probity is the linchpin of authenticity. It is different from being fair in your dealing, but closely resembles an individual sense or way of leading. An amalgamation of integrity and truthfulness to fellow members results in authenticity of practice. In a Banking scenario, if a branch manager does not make his team aware of the right circumstances that prevail, he fails to be a good leader. His team will never be able to rely on him or his judgement. Manipulating the truth is against the principles propagated by Jesus.
It would also surprise many to know that Jesus was one of the first few to practice word of mouth marketing. However, that is another aspect of corporate management, beyond the scope of leadership lessons. Though it’s overwhelming to imagine how he got so much done without even a trace of Technology to help.

The Future of Work:Jobs and Job Hours

Imagine you are in 2032. You have just entered your office and you head straight to the cafeteria without bothering about your attendance. From the cafeteria you head to the table tennis room and spend a good two hours at the game. You enter your cabin, seat yourself on the bean bag and switch on the television that details you on your tasks and meetings scheduled for the day.
vu8dSbMFQDRjkSUBUc9UdYXXXL4j3HpexhjNOf P3YmryPKwJ94QGRtDb3Sbc6KY The Future of Work:Jobs and Job Hours
Once again, you head to the cafeteria, with your laptop and begin with your work. Yes, even some fifty years from now you will be required to work. Just that you will have a lot more freedom. Okay, so we may have exaggerated a bit while describing a job scene from 2032, but the point is that no one will be bugging you about work. GenX Education brings you some trends from future to ponder upon. Let us begin with some of the jobs straight from the future:
What Could You Possibly Be Doing in the Future?
History has it that the industries that existed some hundred years back are still the same to a large extent. However, the face of these industries has undergone quite a lot of change. Take technology for example. With innovation having unleashed a digital upsurge, career like Mobile Application Development and cloud computing were conceived. If one were to write about jobs that could exist fifty years from now, the picture would be blurred. However, trend insights do give us a sneak peek into jobs that will be ten years from now.
1. Personal Investment Advisor: Just like a dress designer who gives you just what you want, in your size, a personal investment advisor will be responsible for designing the right investment offers and opportunities, cut out especially to suit your pockets. 2. Personal Fitness Consultant: The good thing about the future will be that almost everyone will have personal trainers and personal advisors. Second in line to your personal investment advisor will be a personal fitness consultant. Your own fitness consultant will be responsible to keep you fit and fine. 3. Psychiatrist: Given the pace and rate at which stress is taking a toll, it will soon be time that everyone would require a psychiatrist. Just like a personal fitness trainer who takes care of one’s physical health, a psychiatrist would be responsible for keeping one’s mental health in check.
Your Work Week in the Future
Apart from some odd jobs that will be shaping up in the future, there will be a few more changes that could mean a whole lot to employees as well as employers. For example, shortening of work weeks. As per an online article, “employers may cut the standard workweek, say from 40 hours to 36 hours, a 10% reduction in work hours. Employers could also adopt policies such as offering workers paid sick leave. If this averaged five days a year, this would come to a reduction in hours of 2%….These policies would bring the US in line with the rest of the world. In other wealthy countries, paid vacation time is standard, with the average being close to five weeks a year.” What’s your take on that one?

Changing the Hat: Do Engineers Need an MBA

For anyone who goes by the infamous description of the character Suhas in 3 idiots, doing an MBA after having obtained an engineering degree would qualify them to be titled a ‘gadha’; at least Ranchordas would have convinced you, even if just for a second or two, that such a switch is a total waste of time, effort and money. But once you are out of the movie halls, heading back home, the thought of working in a corporate strikes again.
college tuition cost Changing the Hat: Do Engineers Need an MBA

Now that you have been working in the software industry for around four years, you think about steering your career to greener pastures. And an MBA definitely looks like greener pastures – Well, the tentative return on investment seems good – so it’s your final take. Check MBA.
Speaking purely from the point of view of secondary research, “Tech pros who had opted to get an MBA believed it would give them the potential to achieve higher pay, allow them to move more easily into management within the technology department, obtain employment at a preferred company or land work in a new, business-oriented technical role”, publishes an article online.
For those who find themselves in a never ending scoop about whether they should do an MBA post their engineering, CareerBuilder India puts forth some points: If You Are Really Serious About It
  1.  The Right Time: This is for all those who are thinking about *higher* studies – Like it or hate it, but there is a time and value for everything. If you are thinking about doing a full-time after spending six years in the IT industry, think twice about everything that you’ve been doing till date. Rethink your initial goal and get back on track, now. Your ideal choice should be an executive MBA program, something that doesn’t require you to compromise on everything that you have today.
  2. The Subject of Specialization: So you think you can Sell? Okay, but that doesn’t really mean you need to. An MBA for you should be a way to eye a better position from where you currently stand. And if you keep shifting your focus, you’ll hardly be anywhere. Opt for specializations that will help you cash in on your knowledge and skill. Think IT, Disaster Management, and Knowledge Management.
HOW DOES IT HELP, GENERALLY
Keep your career aside for some time and think from broader perspective. How does the management degree help otherwise. Ask any management student and he will tell you that the course is really beneficial when it comes to learning some basic skills like time management, people management and corporate behaviour. The instructional design or the curriculum as charted by most of the institutes is focused on moulding managerial mind-frames.
HOW WILL YOUR WORKSTYLE BE AFFECTED
1. As an engineer you will be used to working alone, handling a couple of projects individually even when in a team. As an MBA you will not be used to work in solitude and everything that you do would require other people’s participation.
2. As an engineer you’ll be working with the end perspective of the product. Having done your MBA, you will realize that everything is focused on organizational efficiency and effectiveness.
You Can Skip the Idea Just in Case
  • You are already handling a managerial position in your organization and supervising a team of 5 to 10 people. In this case, experience will be your ultimate teacher.
  • You can’t really see yourself making any difference with a degree in HR management in a technical organization.
  • If you are able to find an IT Skill course that means as much value add as an MBA.
