  Case: Switching Districts
I am currently working for a district that is 40 minutes away from my house. I plan on applying for an elementary position with the district that I live in. I am a little nervous about going through the interview process once again. What are the most commonly asked questions that I should prepare for?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I was asked a lot about using data to inform my practices, which requires a lot of understanding about formative assessments for remediation and enrichment. Teaching these days is becoming a more individualized focus because obviously students need individual things. I would definitely talk about how you would use data to inform your instructional strategies. Think of what types of things you would do to help students who were struggling with a concept. Also, with new state-wide testing that requires students to write, be prepared to discuss how you're going to incorporate writing into your curriculum, especially if you aren't interviewing for an ELA position.
