First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Chesapeake Public Schools.
Teacher
You begin with an HR call to chat with the hiring manager. If that goes well, you'll head over to your assigned school for an interview with the principal.
- What's your educational philosophy?
- How would you handle a specific classroom behavior issue?
Substitute Teacher
You start by filling out an application. It's a basic application until the end where they ask about your college credits (you need a certain amount to be a substitute). They also ask why you want to substitute teach. After that, they'll call you if everything on your application is verified. Verified means they do a full check on all the jobs you've listed. Your references have to personally fill out a paper form for you, so be careful. You also have to do a rigorous background check and sex offender check, which you have to pay for. All of these steps take a while. It's really not an interview, just a long process.
- Why do you want to substitute teach?
Teacher
First, you need to submit an online application. After that, just wait around for a call from a principal. If they're keen to interview you, they'll give you a ring. The questions they ask are pretty standard stuff for a teacher, nothing too wild.
- Describe your approach to classroom management.
- How would you deal with a challenging parent situation?
- Are you proficient in using educational technology tools?
