Nov. 13th Class

Creating the interview questions brought to mind the importance of having good questions for the interviewee. Good questions will weed out the teacher candidates that will not fit with the school or district. The scenarios reaffirmed the statement "nothing is black and white". The scenarios also brought to mind the fact that you need to step back and evaluate situations instead of jumping into action as far as reacting to non threatening situations.
Evaluating the district policies brings to light the fact that not every situation is dealt with in the policies. Also, the policies are not written in black and white, but provide gray areas for flexibility in decision making. I was also impressed with the fact that the unions do play a huge role in policy making and in deciding how situations between administration and teachers are viewed and handled.
