I worked in a young offenders unit before I became a teacher and your advice about disruptive students is spot on. When you set clear expectations with them and ask them to help you the game changes.
Thank you! It sounds like you've had some invaluable experiences. It's amazing how setting clear expectations and working together with students can make such a difference. ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC
I’m an American who has been teaching in Sweden for 21 years. I’ve moved back to the states. I am completing the necessary praxis test in order to work here. I found you through that. I love your videos and I’m glad to hear that my personal values are in alignment with what we are going for here in the states.
Ms. Jasper, your video does not only help me with my interview, also teach me so much about my teaching and classroom management skill. Thank you so much!
Finally, perfect resource for teaching interview!! Professional, providing excellent vocabulary for successful meetings. Thank you so much Dr. Jasper for making these videos:)
So encouraging and I love the integrity you have in all your videos . I have an interview in 2 days for a math, applied math and computer science role. and I feel so ready for it.
You really are AMAZING! I have bought all of your praxis materials for early childhood and passed both core tests. Going to take my last in a few weeks. I am almost there with my TTT program and will interview for a teaching position next week grades K-3. I'm very nervous! I have taught preschool for 20 years but want to teach older students, so I need to practice how to answer for Elementary-age children questions. Again, your info is the absolute best!!! I thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Congratulations on passing your core tests and nearing the completion of your TTT program. With 20 years of preschool experience, you've got a strong foundation to build on. For your interview, focus on how your preschool expertise prepares you for teaching elementary students. Best of luck - you've got this! ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC
You are the BEST, thank you!!!!! I watched all of your interview and classroom management videos to prepare for an interview and I got a job offer yesterday.
You are so welcome! We've also recently launched an exciting new Teacher Interview Course. Check it out here: kathleenjasper.com/products/teacher-interview-course ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC
“And we call it cooperative learning. It’s thee new term for group work”. She’s so cute!!! Thanks for posting something concrete on interviews for us!!! ☺️
Am an international applicant, looking forward to my virtual interview as a teacher next month. Your videos are very helpful and value driven. Thank you.
Thank you for your effort and time you spend to make these videos. They are so helpful in so many ways. I am preparing myself to a "hopefully" coming interview, and these videos help me a lot. I feel that I do some of the things that you tell already but I wouldnt think telling them in my interview. Thanks again and best of all to you ❤😊
You're very welcome! It's great that you're already incorporating some of the tips into your approach. Best of luck with your interview-we're rooting for your success! 😊 ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC
This was the most realist video!! Thank you so much, my interview is tomorrow and after watching a lot of your videos I feel very confident !! As far as praising positive behavior, I agree yet when I took a Responsive Classroom seminar and they suggested that we shouldn’t celebrate when kids meet expectations, I believe it’s like 50-50; what do you think? THANKS AGAIN🙏🏼🤞🏼
I am glad you are finding value in the videos. Praising positive behavior can be subjective however, I taught so many students that had disabilities, behavioral problems, emotional problems, etc. that when they did anything right we celebrated. In my opinion there is so much negativity surrounding students that a joyous, positive culture in my classroom allowed my students to relax and take pride in their work. What worked in my classroom doesn't necessarily translate to every classroom, but I will tell you I made gains every year with my students because I built up their self-esteem. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations!🎉 We're happy to hear that the video was helpful in securing a great opportunity for you. Best of luck in your new role! 👏 ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC
I’ve been teaching elementary art for 14 years and I’m about to transfer middle school art next year. My interview is next Tuesday 😅 I haven’t had to do an interviewed in so long. I’m glade I found this video! Thank you for this!

In this scenario it depends on the context. Student achievement is always the responsibility of the teacher no matter what. The best answers for this are 1) Analyze the data and find out which standards the students struggled with. If there is a large number of students failing, then the lesson may have been confusing and you as a teacher need to reflect on the teaching that took place. Admitting this doesn't mean that you are a bad teacher, it just could have been many factors like a bad lesson, confusion among students, etc. 2) Focus on the gains that were made. If this were a scenario for a summative assessment, try and mine the data to see if there were gains made and focus on that. In either case, if you are asked this question always make sure to consult the data and make sure whomever is interviewing you knows that in a situation like this you are able to adapt (key word) as a teacher and work on improving student achievement.
We have a special education playlist. I recommend using the information in those videos to guide your interview. ua-cam.com/play/PLBtoj0Jl2SNyT4D3hBxbxidUlcl8dzwmn.html
I've always wondered if interviewing administrators and principals think differently about teacher candidates who use the revised Bloom's Taxonomy verbs. I usually use the revised verbs rather than the original verbs, as these were the ones I learned first.
@@KathleenJasperEdD so I don't think they asked me anything that came up in your videos, but... A) you're laying down some killer pedagogy and that's rad B) reviewing your videos gave me the confidence I needed before the big show I nailed it and got the offer two hours later. Thanks! 😘
It's my pleasure. I have a Teacher Resume Series that is amazing. It comes with a template for your resume too. ua-cam.com/play/PLBtoj0Jl2SNyCIAXtlGrYWe6hBcfBZNaH.html
@@KathleenJasperEdD I cannot thank you enough... I got the job first interview thanks to God then to you!. 10 yrs. ago I did not know what specials nor recess meant? I only had masters from the US. It touched me yesterday to hear they were impressed. I will always refer to ur great videos for mentoring. Best of luck to u as well!
Interesting video, thank you so much. Dr. Jasper could you do a video of how to be successful during an interview for a paraprofessional instructional ESOL? ,
Hi there, I do not have a specific video for an ESOL para. However, somethings you should focus on are working with the classroom teacher, focusing on standards, using data to drive decisions, and helping to build an inclusive environment for your students.
Thank you so much for watching. We trust that you now have a more comprehensive grasp of how to excel in your interviews.🙂 ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC
I would thank him or her for the opportunity to observe another teacher. This is a really amazing tactic, and not may principals take the time to do this. I would also identify one or two things that are really interesting and effective that the teacher does. You might say, "I really liked how the teacher reviewed the objectives during her lesson." Or, "This teacher has really good classroom management." I would NOT be critical at all. Do not point out anything negative. You are a guest, so mind your manners :) Hope that helps.
@@KathleenJasperEdD Thank you for replying so quickly. For two of my interviews the principal has taken me to the classroom to observe. In both instances, the classes had substitute teachers. In both cases, the substitutes used effective classroom management techniques and students were paying attention and answering the teacher's questions. Thank you!
