Teacher Talk: How to succeed in an interview for a teaching position.
This episode is this week's 'Teacher Talk': a fifteen minute talk that explores an important aspect of being a new teacher.
This week's talk is on interviews. It breaks down how to succeed in an interview for a teaching position by exploring three key areas: preparation, how to give a good impression on the day, and how to answer some common teaching interview questions.
