Got a phone call last week and was offered an interview (finally). When I got the call and realized who it was, I was in shock! The department head emailed me and asked for a sample lesson plan as well as a sample syllabus, which I sent to her.
The interview is today at 12:30 pm and it is for a World History teaching position at Valley High School in Santa Ana Unified. One of the reasons why I think I got the interview is because the principal at Valley High School was the same principal I had when student teaching. Hopefully, he remembers me.
I've been preparing all weekend asking friends to give me mock interviews, typing up notes, going over educational terminology, rethinking about how I would teach history, how I would discipline students, etc.
In addition, I prepared portfolios for each interview which I will hand out when I see them. The portfolio includes an updated Cover Letter/Resume, the sample syllabus, my Teaching Philosophy (in the form of a cheat-sheet), a sample lesson plan supplemented with sample student work, and copies of my Letters of Recommendation.
Wish me luck, since it is my first interview ever after receiving my credential! *sweatdrop*
