	Questions For Teacher Candidates
	Some students may wish to pursue a career in education, due to the need for good teachers. If you are among them, these are the types of questions you can expect. What is your philosophy of education? Of discipline? What issues in education are of greatest concern to you? Why? Describe the role of the teacher in the learning process. What is the role of the teacher in the community? How would you individualize instruction in your classroom? Why do you want to teach? What special abilities do you have that would benefit your students? What prompted you to go into the field of education? Do you grade on ability or effort? Why? If you found out the slower learners in the class could not read the grade-level book, what would you do? Tell me about your student teaching experiences. How do you feel about observations by supervisors or principals? Why? Are you interested in working with students in some extracurricular activity? If yes, what? If not, why not?
