5,160 educator interview questions shared by candidates

Situational hypothetical issues encountered in the classroom with students and on campus with fellow educators. Behavior situations, collaborative issues one might come across with coworkers, and teaching strategies/philosophies (especially concerning reading and writing strategies). I asked more questions than they did, however that was due to being from Rhode Island Public Schools and moving to California Public Schools (asked about State Test Scores, District-wide interventions undertaken, Programs developed and initiated, RTI Processes ... but again, this was me asking the questions).

Situational hypothetical issues encountered in the classroom with students and on campus with fellow educators. Behavior situations, collaborative issues one might come across with coworkers, and teaching strategies/philosophies (especially concerning reading and writing strategies). I asked more questions than they did, however that was due to being from Rhode Island Public Schools and moving to California Public Schools (asked about State Test Scores, District-wide interventions undertaken, Programs developed and initiated, RTI Processes ... but again, this was me asking the questions).

They asked many hypothetical questions about how I would handle a customer who was being inappropriate. For example, a man asking me how I would personally use a toy that he was looking to buy. Or, how to handle a person loudly making fun of an item in the store. They expect their employees to be as respectful as possible and to take into consideration how other customers may feel during these incidents. I did ask how safe of an environment the company was and how often customers put their employees in an inappropriate position. They were confused and told me that it was just like any other store, almost as if to point out that I was being judgmental by asking them about my safety. Hypothetical questions were one thing, but I wanted to gain some insight into how they kept the environment safe for their workers. The vibe that I got was that there was nothing unsafe about working in a store that sold sex items to begin with, and the conversation took a strange turn and didn't really answer my question. I think it was my question that cost me the job.
