I think the most important question is why this person became a teacher. I would be looking for a passion for teaching, rather than "I didn't know what else to do." type of answers.
For Home Economics, I would ask what type of program this person has in mind. Is it just a "fill in" elective, or is it a true career starter for future chefs, fashion designers, child-care workers, etc.
For Home Economics, I would also ask this person how they would handle the certain percentage of students who sign up for those courses thinking they will be easy "A's"... how this person would manage that problem. Because it will always be a problem.
Home Economics teachers are also often asked to host luncheons, baby showers, fundraising dinners, honors banquets, etc. I would ask if this teacher is willing to do that extra work and give that extra time.

ask her things like why did you become a teacher, and give her hypothetical situations like what would you do if your students started fighting. and also ask her what makes a good teacher?
