"Compared to other industry professionals, teachers are not compensated as their academic degree and certifications would imply." Why do you want to teach in our school? What reasons should I hire you over a recent college education major? This was a question posed to a candidate during a panel interview by my principal. The candidate was a career changer. Was this a fair question to ask of someone who has gone through the process of becoming highly qualified to teach? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I feel the question is a good question. There are many people who enter into the education field and do not have a passion or joy for teaching. They simply like the easy life or having power over people. This is a question that I feel should be asked more often in job interviews.
