Mock Interview Reflection

Today in class, we were part of a mock interview. This interview was to prepare us for what an interview may be like for student teaching or to get a full time teaching job. Before going to this interview, I was nervous because it felt different being judged in a way by my peers. I was not entirely sure on what to expect during the interview. I thought the interview itself was easy but I found the questions to be difficult. Kelli asked a very difficult question about creating an objective regarding the American Revolution. This question may have been easier if we were given the grade level and a bit more information. Christine and Lindsay both asked very interesting questions. The question that they both asked was in regards to if they came into my classroom, what would they see me teaching. I thought this led to a very thoughtful answer that allowed me to show what I understand about the different types of lessons. Overall, I found this experience to be beneficial because it allowed me to reflect on my learning and experience in the classroom.
