Mock+Interview

p  p   p   p  //** Mock Interview **// //**1) Students read, write, and think critically all in 55 minutes. The atmosphere is safe, engaging, and full of free thinking.**// //**2) Calmly. No one responds to a reciprocated hostility with anything productive.**// //**3) A safe atmosphere is the most important aspect because it fosters risk taking and without the ability to safely take a risk no learning can occur.**// //**4) My short story unit on violence. It was exemplary because I integrated technology well, breeched a sensitive but prevalent topic with sensitivity, created a unique embedded assessment, and hit numerous colorado standards.**// //**5) I am fun. I believe that with fun and humor students will learn more because they are safe and they can remember information much better if they associate it with something they enjoy.**// //**6) The students are responsible for their own learning. But teachers are responsible for providing them with as many opportunities to engage in learning.**// //**7) 1-a talk 2-a written referal 3- a talk with the principal 4- a call to the parents**// //**8) Relationships. A good teacher talks to his students only about school and only in the class whereas a great teacher knows the students outside of school.**// //**9) By using the zone of proximal development and fully integrated classrooms, I will create a lot of group work so advanced students can help struggling ones.**// //**10) TALK TO THEM. It sounds easy but once students realize that youre there to help them, they will open up about the issues theyre dealing with.**// //**11) I am engaging and quite knowledgable. Conversely, I need help with classroom management and grading.**// //**12) Frequent formative assessments that are scaffolded to summative assessments.**// //**13) Extra time on homework and given the reasons for that students failure, i would give him/her a chance to redo assignments. I would also make myself available to him/her after school and during lunch.**// //**14) A large one. I will create a class wiki and students will continually be adding to it.**// //**15) I amy be slight unpolished but teaching is what i was born to do. I have boundless potential and, given the cahnce to realize that potential, i would make this school all the better for it.**//
