Teacher Interview questions in Hong Kong
In a teacher interview, employers may ask both subject-area and general teaching questions.

Top Teacher Interview Questions & How to Answer
Here are three teacher interview questions and tips on how to answer them:
Question No. 1: How do you include students' parents/guardians in their education?
How to answer: Parents/guardians are an integral part of student success in school. This question allows the interviewer to understand how you communicate and foster productive relationships with parents/guardians. Your answer should prioritise the importance of the parent/guardian-teacher relationship in student success and explain how you plan to create a positive working relationship.
Question No. 2: How do you plan to incorporate technology into your classroom?
How to answer: Technology is a valuable tool in modern classrooms. Interviewers want to understand your comfort level with modern educational technology and your ability to incorporate it into your lesson plans. Discuss the technological tools you plan to use in the classroom, why you chose them and how you will incorporate them into student lessons.
Question No. 3: How would you handle a disruptive student?
How to answer: This question is used to assess your classroom management philosophy and experience. Discuss your approach to positive student-teacher relationships and delineate the steps you would take to help a struggling student succeed.

My experience was poor as well. A lot of hype and very little follow through. The owners where terrible and had zero experience in childcare. Then went and hired a directory who again had no experience and no business being a director of a preschool. Upper management needs to play a bigger role in new school openings and actually stick around longer than 3 or 4 days.... Less

My experience was the same as well. When I had my interview somebody from the corporate office was there. I heard her and the director talking about me. I thought I wouldn't get hired but I did. They seemed to be extremely fake. Less

The interview process wasn't terrible. It was just the sad to know that there was a lot of hype but not a lot follow through. The teachers weren't as holding as they were conveyed by the director. Unfortunately it was a fact I found out only after accepting the job. Less

They asked me if I was willing to be critiqued on a daily basis, because that's the kind of school they are.
7 Answers↳
Agree. Little did you know that during these "interview sessions" children who had gym class or recess were "kicked out" of the gymnasium for these interviews. In turn they were left to sit in the cafeteria in chairs with no physical activity. But, this is something in the norm in this environment. Less

College Achieve Critique....that meaning verbally abusive, degrading, and completely UNSUPPORTIVE. The principal would either reprimand you in front of students in the classroom or in the hallway, using "swear words" and in ear shot of coworkers and other classes and students. Less
↳
Feedback? How about, "we don't do it that way, we don't like creative teachers who want care about the students and want to differentiate and use what they learned in school and student teaching to make them a better teacher". The school does not give feedback, they give criticism. My one bit of advice is don't be me. I had read bad reviews last summer and I thought "these are probably teachers that don't want to work hard" Shame on me for thinking that. Most of the teachers care, but many are afraid to speak up. Don't work at College Achieve! Less

You don't have any experience teaching so how do you expect to teach? (She meant no experience teaching English, which she clarified when I answered fairly sarcastically due to my rich history with teaching).

You seem like a d-o-u-c-h-e to be honest no wonder you didn't get picked.

I'm not surprised you didn't get a offer. You sound increasingly rude and disrespectful not the interviewer. Less

P.S. If you're trying to teach English, you might want to realize that it's "an offer," not "a offer." Less
