Welcome - Part II

This blog is being written to answer all the questions, concerns, and issues you have about your teacher interview.  Here are some of the topics that will be covered in the next weeks and months (perhaps years):
1.  What you need to know about interviews
2.  Preparing for the interview: how to
3.  Interview formats and types
4.  Key principles for interview success
5.  Mistakes you can't afford to make
6.  The nonverbal advantage (that will get you hired)
7.  The single-most important question you must always answer
8.  123 basic interview questions (+ 123 fantastic responses)
9.  25 Zingers! (+ 25 dynamite answers)
10. Hypothetical and situaltional scenarios
11. Questions you should ask (and questions you shouldn't)
12. Illegal questions
13. Questions to ask yourself
14. Follow-up and follow-through
15. Multi-round interviews
16. Tips and strategies especially for non-traditional candidates
All this information is being gathered together for a new book I am writing for Jist Publishing (Indianapolis, IN) entitled Ace Your Teacher Interview.  The book is tentatively scheduled for publication in Fall 2011 - however, you will get all the information that will be in that book through this blog.  It is my hope and intent to update the blog on a very regular basis so that you get the latest and most pertinent data.  The blog will also be an opportunity for you to pose questions, raise issues, and voice your opinions.  If there is a question or facet of the interview process you would like me to pursue - let me know.  I'll get the answers directly from experts in the field and share it with all the readers of the blog.  Let me know what you think - let me know what you want.  This blog - and the forthcoming book - are both designed to make your interview successful and rewarding.  Or, as it says at the top of the page - Get informed!  Get hired!  Get teaching!
