philosophy. I will create a welcoming & enabling environment in my

equally important.

7. How do you handle classroom discipline?
Discipline is an indispensable part of a positive and effective classroom
environment. With this question, the interviewer wants to know how you view
discipline and what methods you use to maintain order in your classroom.
Possible Answer - 1
During my initial interaction with students, I clearly state the ground
rules that they are expected to follow and also share the disciplinary
actions that will be enforced if the rules are not followed. Once these rules
have been discussed and agreed upon with the students, it helps them
develop a sense of responsibility and accountability.
Possible Answer - 2
I think showing anger inside the classroom has a negative effect on
students. The trick for me is to be firm with the students but never show
anger. For students with chronic discipline issues, I prefer to keep them
involved in many classroom activities so that their energy is harnessed in
a positive way. I also reach out to parents to see if they can help with their
child’s behaviour issues.
Possible Answer - 3
I think that discipline is the backbone of an effective classroom
environment. And for maintaining discipline, a teacher needs to be
observant and firm. A teacher must observe the nature and behaviour of
each student, especially the ones who have serious discipline issues and
then use methods and techniques to develop a sense of routine and
discipline within them.
Possible Answer 2
I think that parent’s involvement is essential for a student’s success. I make
it a point to interact with all the parents in person during the parent-
teacher-meetings, and if needed, I also reach out to parents over the phone
or email. Specifically, I keep the parents informed about homework
assignments and other projects that are going on in the class and also
communicate with them frequently about the child’s performance.

I take standardized examinations for students very seriously, as their
performance in these exams has a profound effect on their higher
education and creates a good first impression in job interviews. In my
lesson plan, I make sure to include a section for important exam questions,
and throughout the year I keep conducting practice exams. This helps
students to remain focused and develop a good writing habit.

I believe that each student has his/her unique strengths. An evaluation
system must have the capability to identify these strengths and nurture
them. In my approach, I try to identify a student’s strength by counselling
and observation. I then evaluate the students on how much they have
improved over a period of time. Apart from developing the unique
strengths of students, I also ensure that other aspects of their education do
not get neglected.
Possible Answer - 2
One of the weaknesses of our education system is its inability to manage
diversity. As a result, a lot of kids, who are academically weak, tend to lose
their confidence. As a teacher, I think it is my duty to restore the
confidence of these students by identifying their unique competencies,
providing for their special learning needs and most importantly showing
trust in their abilities.
15. How can you make learning more fun for your
students?
Possible Answer - 1
If teaching is done in a light-hearted and fun way, students find their
lessons a lot easier to understand and retain. In my class, I use many
methods like skits, plays, documentaries, quizzes, etc. to keep the students
motivated and involved in the classroom.
Possible Answer - 2

engaged in the classroom activities. Sharing an occasional joke related to
the subject matter keeps the environment of the class happy and calm. It

quizzes.
What is the most important KRA that you expect from teachers?
Possible Answer - 1
In my teaching style, I give a lot of individual attention to students,
especially to the ones who are not performing well in their academics. As a
result, it becomes hard for me at times to stick to the lesson plan.
However, I am trying to prioritise my schedule in a way by which the
students get their share of individual attention and my lesson plan also
does not suffer.
Possible Answer - 2
At times, I am not as patient as one needs to be while dealing with
children. And occasionally, I tend to lose my focus if I witness indiscipline
in my classroom. But I think with more experience and some guidance
from senior teachers, I will be able to manage the student properly.

Being one of the most respected schools in our region, I will consider it my
good fortune to get an opportunity to work here. Along with having great
academic standards, this school also has very good facilities like sports
infrastructure, social and cultural group, etc. But the one thing that I
really like about the school is its amazing social outreach programs in
providing education to the weaker sections of society.
question. Even if you were fired from the position, you should not lie about it as a
simple background check can reveal the truth. Here are some answers that you can
help you to answer this difficult question.
1. Be knowledgeable
The first thing expected from a teacher is an excellent subject knowledge. However,
the knowledge should not only restrict to his/her subject matter but also other
aspects of life. Young students look up to their teachers and often reach out to them
with their personal problems. Therefore, it is important that teachers have the
intellectual depth and maturity to deal with these issues.
2. Quote Examples
Teaching is not an easy profession and managing a classroom full of young,
vibrant, and impatient students can be challenging. Giving examples of real
classroom situations and how you dealt with them is probably the best way to
demonstrate your competency as a teacher.
3. Dress professionally
Professional dressing is one of the most important aspects when it comes to
attending an interview. Your dressing and body language will give the interviewer a
signal that you are serious about the interview.
4. Go well prepared
Apart from preparing for the common questions, do a thorough research on the
schools’ philosophy, ideas, and requirements. See how your teaching philosophy
and style can make a difference in the school.
