Phone or HR screen
How do you keep parents informed?
Tip: Mention regular updates, meetings, and raising concerns early rather than only at report time.

How do you deal with a student who keeps disrupting the class?
Tip: Explain clear expectations, calm consistent consequences, a private talk to find the cause, and working with parents.
Panel interview
How do you manage a class with very different ability levels?
Tip: Talk about differentiation: grouping, tiered tasks, extra support and stretch work, and how you track progress.
Assessment or case study
Teach us a short part of a lesson.
Tip: Keep it simple: a clear objective, check what students know, explain with an example, a quick activity, then check understanding.
