To be prepared for everything : Once I went to a school where I need to give a demo before the Principal.I was supposed to give the demo by 11 am. I went there on time, but since the Principal was busy, she met me by 4 pm. She asked me to give a demo on electricity chapter using demonstration method . I started my demo and by the time I connected the circuit there was no power. Since I had to use the battery to prove OHM's law I was struck for a minute .Spontaneously , I asked for the TV remotes of their school, removed the cells from it and completed my practical demo successfully . Spontaneity is the key point when u need to prove yourself ! Hope my experience added some value to the topic

You need to have your education philosophy clearly fleshed out in your own head, and be able to passionately articulate it. Don't have that defined yet? Imagine you are teaching the class of your life. What's going on? What are you doing? What are students doing? Where are you? Where are the students? What have they just done and what are they doing next. What hands on experiences are they doing? In your responses to these questions are the foundation of your philosophy. Also, provide real examples of how you have lived that philosophy? If you are new to teaching, share stories about experiences you had where this philosophy was demonstrated

A very pivotal question for me, considering the nature of education in my environment is that: what are the support mechanisms that you have in place for the supply teachers? Any school that doesn't have support system in place is a red flag.
