50 Teacher Interview Questions!
Conquer Your Next Interview and Get Your Dream Teaching Job!
Don't let a mediocre performance on your next interview stand in your way. Prep yourself with everything you need to impress your interviewers, stand out from other applicants, and get the job!
The interview makes or breaks a teaching candidate's chances of getting the job.
Interviews are stressful, and they can be an absolute nightmare if you're unprepared. Likewise, the interview is your only chance to stand out from a crowded pool of applicants, to impress your interviewers, and to get the job.
Most teaching jobs have hundred of applicants (even during teacher shortages), and just a fraction of applicants get to the interview stage.
At that point, the applicant is typically asked a battery of challenging questions by an interview committee in order to determine who the final candidate will be. The process is almost always time consuming, stressful, and aggravating.
Most frustrating of all, the interview committee is rarely able to determine who the best teacher in the applicant pool is. In that moment, they can only determine who has the best answers to their questions.
If you're passionate about teaching, it's hard to imagine a more exasperating fate than losing out on your dream job simply because another applicant had better insight into the questions that were going to be asked.
Fortunately, you're about to bring your interview game to a whole new level.
NewTeacherAcademy is the only surefire way to give yourself an unfair advantage against other applicants as you're embarking on the interview process.
You'll learn teacher interview secrets that aren't available anywhere else.
You'll understand the research behind the best answers to the most common interview questions.
And you'll set yourself apart from other applicants with cutting edge knowledge of brain-based learning.
NewTeacherAcademy is here to help you eliminate all of the uncertainty that lies ahead of you in the hot seat, to ensure you're the best prepared candidate in the room, and to give you every possible advantage so you can beat the competition and be the one that gets the job!

NewTeacherAcademy is divided into four major parts. Here's exactly what you can expect from each:
1

Part 2: Interview Questions Unpacked
Most teaching job candidates have the common misconception that they only need to prepare for commonly asked questions in order to succeed in the interview process, but this couldn't be further from the truth. In reality, the majority of applicants do come in prepared to answer common questions -- and interviewers know to test candidates by prodding further with follow-up questions that easily reveal whether or not they truly know their stuff. Candidates are often caught unaware, just regurgitating the answers that they think they're supposed to say -- but the candidates that get this right get the job.
NewTeacherAcademy program takes a more comprehensive approach to interview preparation by providing you with the research and knowledge behind every interview question so that you are better equipped to handle follow-up questions and comfortable engaging in informal conversations than any other candidate in the applicant pool.
This doesn't just make you a better applicant; it makes you a better teacher.
This intensive training is divided into ten learning modules in NewTeacherAcademy that you can complete at your own pace -- over multiple weeks, or all at once!

You'll have a tremendous advantage over other applicants.
To take things further, you'll be equipped with:
- An optimized teacher resume template, derived from the resumes of successful teacher applicants -- paired with training on how to best personalize the resume for yourself, and how to leverage your resume during the interview.

What educators are saying about Jay Meadows' work
An Invaluable Boost to Jumpstart Your Career
It turns out that NewTeacherAcademy helps with a whole lot more than just reducing the time you have to spend job hunting and minimizing the stress associated with interviewing. Those benefits are the most obvious and perhaps the most invaluable, but also the least tangible. There's much more to it.
Most applicants don't realize how much money they're losing during their job search.
Every day that you aren't in the classroom is a day that you aren't contributing to your pension, your retirement fund, your position on the salary guide, your seniority in the district, and your tenure as a teacher. Compounded over years, these seemingly minor delays can add up to some very REAL shortcomings in the form of many thousands of dollars, and in the form of your long-term job security.
In those terms, a competitive advantage to jumpstart your career could easily be worth well over $100,000. Don't wait a second longer and get started now with exclusive insights, training, and interview secrets that can't find anywhere else.
Give Yourself An Unfair Advantage Against The Competition.
Applicants that use NewTeacherAcademy have an unfair advantage against applicants that don't.
