interview help - any teachers?

[Sassafrass]

I've finally managed to get myself an interview for a teaching post! I've only worked as a supplyteacher before in England as I trained and worked mainly in Sweden so I have no clue as to what kind of questions they ask at interviews here.

If any primary teachers are reading this, what kind of questions did you get at your interviews and do you have any advice?

Thank you

Just off the top of my head, I think I remember being asked:
To describe a lesson that went really well
What is your favourite subject?
What would I see if I walked into your classroom?
How would you deal with a difficult parent?

Oh, and a friend of mine was once asked 'if you were an animal wht sort of animal would you be?' But don't worry, I don't think that's a usual sort of question to ask!

Good Luck

They often ask you to teach a lesson so make sure it is Ofsted inspection standard! e.g. all singing all dancing!

Be yourself but also show that you are dynamic and everything they want!
If you've got a portfolio with your best work then bring it along. Some questions I've been asked...

What can you contribute to extra curricular activities?
What are your strengths?
What went well in your lesson that you taught this morning?

Good luck

I would expect questions to cover
special needs/inclusion
every child matters/excellence and enjoyment
assessment
teaching and learning
people skills/man management
why this school/age group sort of thing

Most interviews round our way expect a presentation and some osrt of teaching ranging from a stroy group or assembly to amantal maths starter or whole class session. Depends on how picky the school can afford to be. Make sure you are pacey, use good questioning techniques, show you have learned children's names and use VAK strategies.
Most important advice- show how much you enjoy being with children. Good luck!

Thanks for all the help. I do need to teach for 20 minutes as well so I've prepared a numeracy lesson which I hope will go down well. I've followed the numeracy format just with shorter and fewer activities so that I can fit it all in.
