      Elementary Music Teacher Interview

      26 May 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Chicago, IL
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chicago Public Schools (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      To be able to apply for a job, you have to undergo a pre-interview to qualify for the teacher pool. This consists of a 15-minute interview, in-person or via phone. The questions they ask you may vary widely. If you do not pass the interview, there is 6-month period where you must wait before taking the pre-interview again. I believe the list of questions are standard, as well as ad-lib, or made-up on the spot, at the whim of the interviewer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      One question that is a standard one is: What do you do with a student who is creating a disturbance in the classroom? This question deals with one's classroom management procedure.
