“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all” one of my favorite education quotes. Just stumbled upon this video and it’s great help! Thank you!
I will be graduating this December 2020 as an Elementary Bilingual Teacher, I applied to several schools. Next week I will have all the interviews I will comment back to keep you updated. Thank you for your advice you are amazing!! This was exactly what I needed!! Edit: I got the job!!!
I did my interview on a Wednesday, followed your tips and impressed the interviewers with the culture question… I got a call about a job offer the next morning!! Thank you for your awesome advice and tips.
I just interviewed for a job in your district! I recognized your superintendent from my research about the district! I wish I had seen this video before I interviewed, but after seeing how much you love your district, I’m really hoping I receive good news!
Thanks for your tips! I'm a postal worker (history major however) looking to change careers into teaching and I just had my first interview for a middle school history position! Your video really helped me prepare, especially your point of telling them about yourself in terms of your education and your passion for becoming a teacher and making sure to slow down and ask questions to make things more clear when you don't understand a question :) I actually caught them smiling when I asked what an acronym was and they had to stop and think themselves giving me a few extra seconds to prepare an answer in my head. Thanks a ton for your great video! Good luck to you in this difficult time and anyone else who is interviewing for teaching jobs!-Zach
Thank you so much for these tips!! I definitely was a babbler and missed my chance but with these tips I feel a little bit better. My favorite quote is a reference to Howard Gardners Multiple Intelligence Theory : " It's not how smart you are, its how you're smart!"
I loved the idea of selecting an educational philosophy! That is definitely a question that gets brought up that may be complex to understand for someone who is brand new! Also, double thumbs up to getting your Superintendent to make this video with you! Awesome content!
I'm interviewing tomorrow via Zoom and yes, I'm kind of cramming! Although I'm a seasoned teacher, it's been 5 years since my last interview...which was very informal. Tomorrow's experience is going to be very different in many ways and I'm feeling pretty anxious about it! I'm looking at going back into teaching Spanish Pre-K -6 (private school)...coming from current position of secondary art (public school)! I have the experience and skills set for teaching Spanish at this level but not impressive credentials to list on paper...as far as certifications, etc. I need pointers on how to sell myself/ my abilities despite having my formal education in a different domain! 😬🤷😳😎
Thank you! I have an interview coming up and this video made me feel less anxious of what to expect. Like you, I get nervous and tend to ramble. I also have to practice not saying "um" lol Thank you once again!
THANK YOU! I watched your video yesterday and today I was interviewed and at the end they offer me an early contract and that is a big deal for an out of country U.S educator.
Thank you so much for your informed advice! How unprofessional for the district to interview all of the candidates en masse as if they were contestants in a beauty pageant.😖
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately, it is a pretty common practice for interviews. I understand the need when there are so many candidates...but it is extremely awkward :(
This was great. I have an interview today and three are some great tips I’ll be adding to my notes. I have to try to impress it’s only a ten minute screening interview.
What a great video from you Miss Romero with the input of the Superintendent. You both express sincerely. I think they are useful in my teaching job hunting even though I am an immigrant! Cross my fingers. Thank you 😊
I have an interview today with an opportunity to become a substitute teacher while still working towards my degree so I feel very lucky to possibly be put in this situation, I am praying I land this job 🙏
This is the most helpful interview video I have seen yet, thank you! I am going into my senior year for elementary education and I am so glad I found your channel. :)
Hi there! Thanks so much for sharing these tips; they were super helpful! I had an interview yesterday and was offered the position! Your video helped me feel more confident. Thank you :)
Thank you for your helpful information in this video and for inviting your superintendent. I would love to work for him as well. What a nice gentleman! I felt so comfortable listening to him. I do not like interviews, period, but I understand that there is no other way. I like to be myself and not post for anyone.
This is not an eloquent quote but my favorite teaching teacher always said "structure their success", which is similar to your quote. This is related to scaffolding and a generally positive approach to education.
Very helpful video, Jess, thank you! I love the idea of bringing an inspirational quote to the interview. Think I'm going to go with "Teaching is more than imparting knowledge, it is inspiring change" from William Arthur Ward. Great tip, thanks again :)
- How will you meet the needs of EL students? - how do you handle student discipline? - what accommodations should be made for students with special needs? - how do you interact with parents? - why are you a good fit for our school?
3: be ready to talk about real lessons you’ve taught - example of a lesson where you addressed kinesthetic, visual, and auditory learning styles WHY IT’S IMPORTANT FOR STUDENT LEARNING
Thank you. These are some great tips. I wish I would have asked these questions at my last school. School culture was awful and support for students with behavioral issues was non existent. I'm interviewing for a new school today. I will be asking these questions.
I love this video. Another tip for interview is research. Look on the school website. They're bound to ask you 'Why do you want to work at this school? '
One tip I have to is make sure you have a couple of good questions prepared to ask the interview panel at the end of the interview. They will always ask, “do you have any questions for us?” at the very end of the interview and make sure you have at least two questions ready to go!
@@andreaboggia7426 No worries at all! I'm glad you found it helpful and I'm glad you left this comment because it helps me to know I was onto something, lol! Thanks for watching :)
Good things said in this video, but sadly many interviews I have had, I was courteous and passionate, but I still didn't get the job. Its really difficult to like interviews when all the interviewer wants to hear is fluff. At this point I am really struggling to understand how to be at an interview, and it's bothersome to say the least
Definitely something I need to work on LOL! Watching my own videos has helped me to realize I need to slow down....this is what my students hear :/ lol. Thank you so much for the support!
10:15 to 10:25. Run. That is not a school you want to work at and I promise you will thank yourself for it later. When you have been unemployed for one year and you know that employers will only be less likely to hire you the longer the gap this advice is outright horrible. You simply can not afford to raise your standards that high and let things like school climate get in the way of being hired.
Any tips for someone who is already a substitute and volunteer at the school they’re applying at? I’ve been the PTO President for 4 years and have been on every committee under the sun and now interviewing for an assistant position. I will already know every person on the interview panel and they all know a lot about me so I am very nervous about how that will change the interview dynamic 😩
Hi Lindsay! That's similar to the situation I was in...I was interviewing for the 2 school districts I had substitute taught for for the past 2 years. I think it's a good thing! You know the district, you know the staff and students, you know the programs they use... I think you should use that to your advantage and talk about all the awesome things you have been able to do for the school :)
Great video. Thanks for the information. I have an interview as a teacher assistant Monday. Any advice for someone with not much teacher experience besides an internship ?
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all” one of my favorite education quotes. Just stumbled upon this video and it’s great help! Thank you!
What is Jhon F. Kennedy who said this quote?
I will be graduating this December 2020 as an Elementary Bilingual Teacher, I applied to several schools. Next week I will have all the interviews I will comment back to keep you updated. Thank you for your advice you are amazing!! This was exactly what I needed!!
Edit: I got the job!!!
Congratulations!
Love this! I love that he said make it all about the kids. My quote would be “relationships first, teaching second” I believe it all stems from that.
Ahh, that's such a great tip! I totally agree :)
I did my interview on Thursday and I got the job!!!! Thanks so much for the tips
I have mine this Thursday, so I am praying that I will soon be able to echo your beautiful words🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Update??
I'm a. veteran teacher and I was very impressed with your tips. Nice job!
Aw, thank you!

I’m student teaching right now and this is SO helpful!! Thank you!!! I will definitely keep this is my back pocket.

Thank you for this tip. I'm about to apply for a teaching position. I'm hoping to hear back from two schools.
Setting up victories for your students: Yes, great quote and as you said memorable and coherent.
My dad did that with me when I was young and in college. I will always be grateful for that.❤
I had my interview today and i used a quote I liked, and it killed! Thank you!
Thank you! I have an interview coming up and this video made me feel less anxious of what to expect. Like you, I get nervous and tend to ramble. I also have to practice not saying "um" lol Thank you once again!
Thank you so much for the great tips! I have a zoom interview for a third grade position on Wednesday! My first interview ever!!!!
So cool this superintend appeared on her video. I’d want to work there too with that level of support.
THANK YOU! I watched your video yesterday and today I was interviewed and at the end they offer me an early contract and that is a big deal for an out of country U.S educator.
Great video content! Thank you for your tips!
Your tips are so special and helpful! I'm going for an interview tomorrow armed with your tips, wish me good luck^^
Thank you for talking fast. I love that because slow talking puts me to sleep and you kept me listening.
Thank you so much for your informed advice!
How unprofessional for the district to interview all of the candidates en masse as if they were contestants in a beauty pageant.😖
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately, it is a pretty common practice for interviews. I understand the need when there are so many candidates...but it is extremely awkward :(
I have an interview with my dream district tomorrow and this was so helpful! Wish me luck💖
This was great. I have an interview today and three are some great tips I’ll be adding to my notes. I have to try to impress it’s only a ten minute screening interview.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this video! It helped me prepare for my interview and I did amazing.
What a great video from you Miss Romero with the input of the Superintendent. You both express sincerely. I think they are useful in my teaching job hunting even though I am an immigrant! Cross my fingers. Thank you 😊
I put the relation of a fine teacher to a student just below the relation of a mother to her son . - Thomas Wolf
This video popped up on my feed an hour before my first ever interview with an elementary school. Thank you for all the info!
great tips!
My interview to be an afterschool elementary school teacher for a non-profit is tomorrow and MY GOD... THANK YOU! -- is all I have to say
Update??
I have an interview today with an opportunity to become a substitute teacher while still working towards my degree so I feel very lucky to possibly be put in this situation, I am praying I land this job 🙏
This is the most helpful interview video I have seen yet, thank you! I am going into my senior year for elementary education and I am so glad I found your channel. :)
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate that so much :) Best of luck with your final year!
Hi Jess! Thank you sooo much! For these awesome tips. My interviews coming up this Monday and I’m super excited! Now I feel more prepared! 💖✨
Listen to that man! It's not just about what you say, it's who you are, that's what I got out of his tips.
Such a great helpful video, thank you for this! :-)
Yay, I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for the support!
Thank you so much for the tips. I have my first teacher interview in two days!

Whew sounds like a tough interview!
Thank God I found your channel. Very helpful
Aww, that's so kind, thank you!!
Definitely the best Interview tips I've seen so far
1: Find a quote that represents your teaching philosophy (ground answers in that quote) tell about yourself and then weave in and introduce the quote
“The role of an educator is to arrange victories for students”
2: practice interviewing with someone you know (practice as if you don’t know them)
- How will you meet the needs of EL students?
- how do you handle student discipline?
- what accommodations should be made for students with special needs?
- how do you interact with parents?
- why are you a good fit for our school?
3: be ready to talk about real lessons you’ve taught
- example of a lesson where you addressed kinesthetic, visual, and auditory learning styles WHY IT’S IMPORTANT FOR STUDENT LEARNING
Happily ever elementary elementary tips video
I wish you were my teacher this year 🤗
Just found you a day a go and you are so helpful and inspiring!! Going into my senior year and then student teaching 😍
Yay, I'm so glad you are here! :) Student teaching is so much fun... best of luck, girl!! :)
Thank you for this video I used the information to get a teaching job that I needed. May God bless you for your help🙂
Thank you. These are some great tips. I wish I would have asked these questions at my last school. School culture was awful and support for students with behavioral issues was non existent. I'm interviewing for a new school today. I will be asking these questions.
I hope your interview went awesome!!:)

Hello 3rd Grade oops lol I skipped to different parts. Must have missed that part! Great video though!
@@andreaboggia7426 No worries at all! I'm glad you found it helpful and I'm glad you left this comment because it helps me to know I was onto something, lol! Thanks for watching :)
Watchinng it in 2024 before my interview. Tank you
Thanks so much ❤
Great video! Where are your earrings from?
Great video. Thanks for the help.
Fantastic concept for a video Jess, good job!
Thanks girlfriend!! :)
I mean...thanks Skyler LOL I love you guys
OMG. I know that superintendent, he was retired/moving another school district. We got a new superintendent
These are wonderful tips!
I was told asking about supports was a bad question to ask because it comes of as wanting "our hands held"
So so helpful! Thank you!
This is such a great video! When did you start your channel? I teach and I’m thinking about making teaching videos as well :)
Thank you so much! I started it in January... you should totally start a channel and make teacher videos!:)
Good things said in this video, but sadly many interviews I have had, I was courteous and passionate, but I still didn't get the job. Its really difficult to like interviews when all the interviewer wants to hear is fluff.
At this point I am really struggling to understand how to be at an interview, and it's bothersome to say the least
What a cool principal
THIS WAS REALLY HELPFUL,
I have final interview today. I hope I get the job. Their hiring process is so hard.
Thank you. I have an interview today
Your video was helpful and different .
I'm so glad to hear that! :)
This is so helpful
Yay, I'm so happy you think so!! :)
I watched your video the day of my interview last minute and let’s just say I was offered the job after the interview thank you ❤️❤️
Awwww congrats!!!!
I might think that you are teaching in riverside country and I am actual!y a student in this school district
Our school start in August 5 2021
😊😊❤
Question, do you say the quote during the interview or just say answers around it?
Thank you
Yeah indeed, fast talker😅😂😂😂 but ilove the tips❤️
Definitely something I need to work on LOL! Watching my own videos has helped me to realize I need to slow down....this is what my students hear :/ lol. Thank you so much for the support!
@@hellomissromeo specially in primary and middle school I think.
@@NhelFuentes totally! I'm working on it haha
@@hellomissromeo hahaha i hope you'd be creating a vid with slowmo talk😂😂😂
Anyway.. I learned a lot from you.. Thank you. I wanted to teach in USA also..
Thank you!!! I’m coming out of my second year as a LTS. Hoping this will be my year but the pandemic isn’t helping of course. Fingers crossed.
Superintendent Chalmers I was just stretching my legs on the windowsill care to join me lol
Pick a quotation.
Why does everyone have the same vocal pitch in these teacher videos.
10:15 to 10:25. Run. That is not a school you want to work at and I promise you will thank yourself for it later.
When you have been unemployed for one year and you know that employers will only be less likely to hire you the longer the gap this advice is outright horrible. You simply can not afford to raise your standards that high and let things like school climate get in the way of being hired.
Wow I wish my 3rd grade teacher looked like you! 😍

Great tips. However, you speak too fast. It would be nice if you slow down. Thank you!
Great video. Thanks for the information. I have an interview as a teacher assistant Monday. Any advice for someone with not much teacher experience besides an internship ?
I wish people responded to this question lol
