I have a job interview

Tomorrow I have a job interview with a rep from the board of ed. I'm so nervous- what should I wear? What kinds of questions will they ask? Any advice will be appreciated

some questions:
why teaching?
favorite grade?
most memorable lesson?
worst lesson? what did you learn from it?
what would you do if a child confided he/she was being abused?
what surprised you about teaching?

How would you deal with a problem student?
What if a child is being disruptive?
Do you know the state standards in your field?

Here are some links to websites with some good questions:

Good luck!!!

ETA: I would wear a suit, and have some questions for him/her--ask about the school, the position, (or is this for the city?) ask about the process, how the BOE works, show you are interested in them and that you did your HW on them. Try to have SOMETHING to ask them. It doesnt have to be what I suggested.

Good luck!

I think the other ladies hit on most of the key questions.

As for attire, I would say anything from a suit to business casual would be fine.
