NWR - School Interviews

So I have an upcoming interview for a public school social work position. For those of you who have experienced a public school interview (either teaching or other position), would you have any info for me on what to expect? It is such a great opportunity and I want to be prepared. I have heard that usually there are call backs if they like you and also interviews with a board of people. Any help would be appreciated !

TIA !!! Wish me luck !

I'm basically the HR person for my school, and I'm on the interview committee. Here's the 411:

Dress appropriately - wear a suit. Remove any piercings, cover tatoos, etc.

Be prepared for a group interview - teachers, administrators, parents, possibly even students.

Bring extra copies of your resume. Bring a portfolio of your work (resume, certifications, awards/honors, leadership positions, pictures, maybe a classroom lesson plan).

Be approachable. A friendly smile and an enthusiastic attitude go a long way. Make sure they know that you're willing to function as part of a team.

Do your homework. Learn about the district, the school, and the surrounding community.

Know your stuff. Be able to relate your experiences when given a scenario question.

GOOD LUCK! KEEP US POSTED!
