At school I am the Vice-President of Student Council.
Our director is retiring and we are looking for someone new. As our school is a private school they take these interviews very seriously, what could be some questions for the potential diresctor(s)? Keep in mind that I need to ask appropriate questions. Thanks....

I have taught in three private schools, so here's my two cents.
1. What is your educational philosophy? In other words, explain your views on how students learn, what they ought to learn, and how curriculum should meet their needs.
2. What are the most important tools of learning?
3. What do you believe about individual learning styles? How should teachers implement them in their classroom, in order to better meet the needs of each student?
4. What is the role of a teacher? What is the role of parents in their children's education?
5. What is the role of administration?
6. If there is a complaint against a teacher, what is the director's role in aiding reconciliation? (In other words, do they first back up the teacher, requesting that the parent take their complaint directly to the teacher first, before seeking help? While that's uncomfortable, it is the best and most respectful way to bring about positive change.)
7. Why do you love education?
8. What are your goals for this institution? What impact would you hope to make? What legacy would you hope to leave?
9. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? How do you work with your weaknesses to bring about something good?
10. How would you approach conflict? (This one is an important one. Conflict always happens. It's how we deal with it that makes or breaks us.)

right here in our the city each and every of the guy colleges are religious based. a large style of the individuals attending are wealthy besides the actual undeniable actuality that some are there on economic help as a effect of their ties with the church. There are a lifelike percentage of the snobby and spoiled, as you'll come across anyplace. There are also a volume of children who're there when you think about that they have been expelled from public colleges so that they, devoid of doubt, have a bent to be somewhat better "party pleasant". There are some women individuals with the point to maximum efficient date boys with vehicles, does no longer subject matter what employer they attend or in the journey that they are wealthy/poor themselves... they're purely shallow. do not stay too much on your economic acceptance, do not get hung up on the individuals that care about it considering the indisputable fact that they don't seem the fashion of human beings you are able to need to be friends with ultimately. It seems cliche advice, despite the indisputable fact that extremely is ideal.

How much input do you think students should have in their affairs?
What made you interested in applying for a job at this school, rather than one at a public school?
Do you see this as a long-term position or one in a series of jobs you will hold?
How do you see sports and other activities fitting into school?
Which courses do you feel should receive increased emphasis? Which should be de-emphasized?
