Science Teacher Interview Question:

So tell me about yourself?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Although much of what they have accomplished is listed on the applications, this opportunity to share tells me a little about them and makes them feel welcome. It's good for me to know about their background and interests when I am introducing them to teachers on the staff. Additionally, this informal chatter gives me insight into how the candidates present themselves. I am looking more for their composure than for any particular answers.
