I'm interviewing a teacher on her class "It's Your Future" (your school most likely doesn't have it)
What is this class about?
What are some of the activities that your class does?
What does this class offer the students that have signed up?
How did this class get started?
What makes this class unique from all the other classes?
What is something interesting about this class?
What is something about this class that you think attracts students

They are good general questions. Ask her about her experiences teaching the class too. Try to start more of the questions without the word "what" at the beginning.
How is this class unique?
Name some interesting features of this class?
Is there something specific that you think attracts students to this class?
Describe your favorite assignment in this class and some past good experiences please.
Why should students take this class?

What do you want each student to come away from this class with?
What will you do if a student is interested in a field which tests show they have little aptitude for?
What are some typical projects that your class will have?
This sounds like a class that helps students choose careers, is it? If so ...
Are they going to take assessment tests? Which ones? At what cost? (If it is additional cost, what will be done for students who can't afford it?)
Are they partnering with the Career Center (If you have one?)
Are they going to show how to write a resume?
Are they going to go on informational interviews? (DO THIS, it's great help!)
Are they going to practice interviewing?
Oh and PLEASE explain the difference between exempt/salaried positions from non-exempt/hourly ones! (It hurt my head when this young new college grad was asking how he could get a non-exempt position so he could get overtime!)
Finally, operating under my assumption that this directs kids to career fields, are they going to touch on that most people change careers 5-8 times in the course of their work/life. Kids need to know that they aren't doomed to eternal unhappiness if they choose wrong.

those are some very good questions. it covers everything i would want to know about it except stuff like, "Do you think the class is easy or hard?", "Does this class do anything outside the school?", and "What are your students like?"
