I got an email today from a school in the bronx and they want me to come in for and interview and to do a demo lesson. In the email she asked me if I have a preference in what grade level I'd like to teach because of my wide range of experience. Do you think this is a trick question? What should I write back/

I know they have a 2nd and 3rd grade self contained position and a 4th grade inclusion position open. I ended up saying that I would feel confident in any grade level and have enjoyed all me experiences all different grade levels.

Re: I have an interview
If you are working with all grade levelsthen just say I am comfortable with whatever you would rather me do. If its a specific then be very specific.

Re: I have an interview
Congrats!!!!!! I would be honest and say which grade you'd prefer to teach. If you say all grades maybe that's to broad. They may be looking for something specific.

Hate to say this, but its by grand concourse... I'm from the bronx and i will not walk around there... only to go to yankee stadium of course no offense if anyone on here is from there...
ETA: I dont want to discourage you though because it is better than potentially being unemployed... gotta start somewhere right?

Re: I have an interview
I would tell her your preference but also mention you feel comfortable across all of the grades.
