Today we conducted a mock interview in class where four of my classmates pretended to be administrators and interview us to become a teacher at their school. The whole experience was nerve-wracking, but it was also very fun and helpful. I think that it has made me feel more prepared for an actual interview because I felt confident in answering all of the questions. There was one question about flip-teaching that took me a minute to realize what it was, but the rest weren't that bad. I think that the question that made me think the most was what animal I think of when I think of direct instruction because there are so many animals, so it was extremely difficult to think of the perfect one on the spot. Overall, I think the interview went really well and I enjoyed having this experience. I'm really glad that we did this!
I was actually picked as the best candidate in my group! Each "administrator" picked a person from each group and I was the one that they chose for my group! I didn't realize how much I've learned throughout this course, until this experience. It was crazy to see how much information I knew and all of the questions I was able to answer on the spot that I definitely wouldn't have been able to answer at all before taking this class. The class was a lot of work and very overwhelming at times, but it was a terrific learning experience that I'm really glad I was able to have.
