I feel like today's class was one of the more practical and informative classes that we have had. Actually, really enjoyed the interviewing experience. I was able to separate myself from being a teacher and grad student, and into the role of a principal trying to get a feel for an interviewee. I understand how much preparation is done by the interviewer before he/she holds interviews.
Also, it was beneficial to be able to not only listen to current school counselors, but also to be able to have small group interaction with one from my building level. I can say that I am one that has failed to understand the relevance for school counselors, but after hearing their job descriptions and listening to their daily activities, I now understand more the need for effective counselors, and the positive interactions between them and building administrators.

I too feel that the "mock" interview experience was one of quality. I have not experienced much practice in this area other than my own personal interviews. I have never been on the other side, and feel that I have a better understanding of the key questions to ask!
