High School Interview Question:

Questions about classroom discipline and the way you establish your authority:

Submitted by: Administrator

► How do you handle a discipline problem? What about noise in the classroom?
► Are you a "tough" teacher or an "understanding" teacher?
► How do you handle a gifted child who is a discipline problem?

By having a set of classroom rules and consistently following your own guidelines - a clear set of behavioral expectations with clear consequences - you have a good chance of controlling the class. Give examples of rules and consequences. Simultaneously, present yourself as a good listener and adapter, flexible to individual students' needs. If possible, give an example of where you had to work around your rule for a difficult student.
