SO! Finding a job these days can be extremely challenging. It requires going on multiple interviews and we all know those can be a PAIN to prep for. Here is a list of interview questions I've been asked over the years! The majority of these questions are for special education positions, but some of them may work for gen ed positions as well. I can't guarantee that they are what your principal will be looking for, but they have certainly worked for me. I hope they work just as well for you!
