We had a day in class where we were able to do mock interviews. There were four students that were administration from different school districts looking for teachers to hire. They went around to the different groups asking questions based off the type of learning their school preaches. I found the questions they asked us intriguing. I liked the starter questions because they asked us what type of animal, bird, or color represents a teacher. I thought this was a cool way to start the interview because it really made us open our minds and think outside the box. What I found hard about it was that if we had an opinion about the type of learning we had to say what we thought the administrator would want to hear. For example Jen was direct instruction and one of the questions was why is direct instruction the best type of teaching practice? To me direct instruction can get boring but I had to come up with ways to make direct instruction look great.
Overall I really enjoyed this activity because I got to hear all the different types of questions that put me on the spot. It really got my mind thinking and showed me I have to step my game up for the real thing.
