Why did you apply for this position?
A: Dinosaur Elementary School has an excellent
reputation in the community. According
to your web page your overall reading tests scores are up significantly and
your math scores in third and fifth grades show significant improvement over
last year. You obviously have a
committed staff and I like to be part of a winning team. You also have a dynamic and eclectic staff
development program for teachers. In my
conversations with some of the teachers they remarked on the variety of
workshops that have been offered – workshops geared for their specific
needs. While the emphasis has been on
reading instruction, there have been sessions devoted to math and science as
well. I believe every teacher, no matter
what their experience, can profit from additional training. That’s something else that has also impressed
me about Dinosaur.
This is an opportunity for you to highlight your special
knowledge about the school or district.
It signals to the interviewer that you took the time to do your homework
– learning specific details other candidates may not have investigated.
