Veja como você pode navegar por perguntas sobre sua filosofia de educação em uma entrevista de ensino.

Strategy: Think about your core beliefs and values regarding education. Personal Experience: I spent time journaling about why I became a teacher and what I believe is most important in the classroom. This helped me articulate my educational philosophy more clearly during interviews.

Although our beliefs and values are already embedded within ourselves, there are times when it is difficult to articulate them when someone asks. We must be well-prepared to avoid this pitfall when sharing our educational philosophies in a demanding teaching interview. Reflect deeply. Ask yourself inspired questions. As you do these, you must be writing things down. Writing down your beliefs about something you are passionate about will fortify them in your mind and you will be able to confidently share them with others. Your ready answers would give the listeners the impression that you know what you are talking about thus gaining their trust.

Strategy: Be concise and articulate when explaining your philosophy. Personal Experience: I practiced summarizing my philosophy in a few sentences, focusing on key points like student-centered learning, the importance of critical thinking, and fostering a love for learning. This made my responses more impactful.

Have a case study ready that deeply explains your philosophy and how it works. Always remember to have the impact at the end and what you/your class achieved by you delivering the lesson with this particular philosophy. If possible, have testimonials or produced work from the class that demonstrates how well this worked.

Strategy: Research the school’s mission and values, and align your philosophy with them. Personal Experience: Before interviews, I reviewed the school’s website and mission statement. I then highlighted aspects of my philosophy that resonated with their values, such as inclusivity or community engagement, to show I was a good fit.

My two tips on this: Read the school's website and policies, as this will show you what their approach is. Talk to TAs and teachers on arrival, as they will be the ones delivering the lessons day in, day out. Secondly, be prepared to use your 'Do you have any questions?' part of the interview to ask SLT about the school's mission and values. Do they know it inside out? There are people out there who will attend a conference and take onboard an approach wholeheartedly without actually understanding it. Things like a growth mindset are all over the shop with little understanding of what it is, the limitations of it. Also, look at their Ofsted and their results. Is their approach working? What can you bring to the role?

Strategy: Demonstrate your enthusiasm and passion for teaching. Personal Experience: When discussing my philosophy, I shared stories of my most rewarding teaching moments. This conveyed my passion and dedication to potential employers.

Strategy: Show that your philosophy is adaptable and open to growth. Personal Experience: I discussed how my philosophy has evolved over time through professional development and experiences in the classroom. This showed my commitment to continuous improvement.

Strategy: Explain how your philosophy helps you navigate challenges. Personal Experience: I talked about specific instances where my educational philosophy guided me through difficult situations, such as managing diverse learning needs or integrating technology in the classroom. This demonstrated the practical application of my beliefs.
