He'll be asked some questions on the following:

How to prepare a lesson plan on any of the subjects or scheme of work.

He'll be assessed in the area of communication skills and good command of the English language.

After the oral interview, he will undergo practicals where he'll be given a class to teach to test his teaching skills and his interaction with the pupils.
At this stage, he's expected to introduce himself first to the pupils before proceeding to teach.

Maybe someone else will have one or two things to add.

These are the things Im usually asked to do anytime I go for interview as a part-time Teacher though.

What do you mean by "teaching a dumping ground"?

Some of you just open your mouth and spew before thinking. Without this same " dumping ground" would you be a graduate today? Or if no body agreed to be "dumped" in that dumping ground, would you have been able to communicate and express your thoughts in black and white?

Just listen to yourself. As if teaching is not a honorable profession. In fact it is the most honorable, and I think every one, irrespective of their classes and status should regard, recognize and respect this profession because we are the real imparter in the society worldwide, therefore we deserve some accolades and not this scorn we get any time a teaching profession is mentioned.

If you take a class for one week, you'll know the importance of this profession. I cant begin to tell you the difficulties, hardwork and challenges we face everyday trying to make a superstar out of a child with learning difficulty ( which you may even have happened to fall in that category during your time). This is just to mention but a few of the so many challenges we face and at the end of the day we produce a better you, only for you to come and say this?

You know what? Don't send your children to school because the "dumpees" may not want to continue being dumped in that site anymore after seeing this your comment.

Learn to reason before you talk.

These were the questions I was given when I went for mine recently...
1: Write your name in full.
2: List 5 subjects you can teach comfortably in a primary class.
3: What are your talents.?
4: How many seminars have you attended? List them.
5: How Can you boost a child's self esteem?
6: What makes you different as a 21st century teacher?
7: If hired, what value can you add to the school for its growth and development?
8: How Can you help a child that is a slow learner?

After the written interview, they took us to the class for practical....
there were no students/ pupils in the class..cos they were still on holiday....so the panels/ interviewers were assumed to be the students/ pupils.


To cut the long story short I was disqualified .. according to them these were the reasons:
1: I didn't get the attention of the pupils before teaching.
2: They were looking for teacher one 1..not teacher 2....I actually applied as an assistant teacher, since my b.sc is not ready.


I hope these goes a long way to help your friend..
I wish him all the best!

I was just smiling and acting confident any question he asked me I would reply him immediately he asked for my CV I told him I didn't come with it he said why.. I told him if you don't mind I could come with it tomorrow he said OK I should go in and start teaching it was then my confident was low.. inside me I was shaking how can I face this student me DAT I'm shy. I later summoned courage I started teaching js1 the principal was right in front of me all eyes were on me. well I just thanked God I didn't mess up I taught them maths and i knew they won't understand. well the principal was just happy that they av found a new math teacher

just know how to prepare lesson plan.

You might also be subjected to micro-teaching test.

If you are tested on micro-teaching do give priority to time management. Also don't forget that at secondary or primary school level, learning is student-centered. Build your instruction around your target audience. Always ask the students question. Like for instance, ask them who can define Economics?

Also learn to evaluate your target audience to see if they have leaned all what you taught.

A school that is worth its salt will subject you to micro-teaching. To test your level of communication and delivery.

I don't know if we will ever adopt this interview style for interviewing teachers in Nigeria. When my son was in Year 8 (Form 2) in the UK, his school wanted to employ a Classics teacher and they put my son and a couple of other kids studying Classics to Interview the prospective teacher....At first as a Naija father I said Una no dey fear? But upon reflection, if the guy was going to be teaching them, then they might as well have a say in his employment.
