I qualified as a senior TA a year ago and have been looking for a job that's fairly close to where I live. Very little coming through but then something perfect came up at a primary school I would love to work in. Applied and have been asked back for an interview this coming Monday - I'm delighted and terrified in equal measure!
Basically this will be my first ever interview since qualifying so I don't really know what to expect. I will be there for about an hour and a half and have to include a 20 minute maths lesson for a group of 5 or 6 Year 3's with an investigative / problem solving approach. There is an option to do this outside and this is what I would prefer as they are a very outdoor learning oriented school and I think this will go down well.
I've spent all day working on this and have come up with some ideas but either they don't seem interesting / challenging enough or they don't fully cover the problem solving angle. 20 minutes is such a short time so I know I can't do anything complicated. I so so want this job but I don't even know what kind of things they will be asking me in the 30 minute interview so not sure how to prepare.
Any help and advice would be very gratefully received!
