Do you have any questions for me?
This is one of the most common questions at the end of interviews. I feel that it is not a good idea to not have any questions, but then again, it is not good to ask too many. What are some purposeful and strong questions that I can ask the principal during my interview? |

I would ask about the morale of the school?
How involved are parent teacher organizations? Parental involvement?
Are there school wide behavioral plans in place?
We often already know about the academic side of things, but it is often these other items that make or break our experiences within the school or classroom in my opinion. |

I would definitely do this if the questions haven't already been answered. |

I would ask:
1. What support do you provide new teachers to the school to help them adjust?
2. Are there any school wide behavior and reward systems.
3. Describe the culture of the staff. |

I would ask the principal:
"What is the best quality of your school?"
"What are areas of improvement included in your School Improvement Plan?"
I believe it's important to gain insight to the school environment, and to let the principal know you are truly interested in the school's future.

This is one of those questions candidates should always be ready for. Most people say "No", however I believe it is better to ask or bring up certain aspects of the job. This gives the candidate a chance to ask the interviewer questions and listen to their perspective on the job or company. "What is the best part about working in the school"? "If I were to get offers from other schools why should I choose this one over the others?" |

It's a good idea to ask about what the motto of the school is. Make sure that the principal knows that you want to be a part of the team and not just a part of the crowd. |

A good thing to ask in any interview is "how do you handle interpersonal workplace conflict?" This will get the interviewer to think about times where staff have been fighting, and how it was handled. |
