Selection Problem Areas How to select the best qualified candidate for each unfilled position is an old organization problem that is ever present. The selection process is loaded with possibilities for serious error, results of which can be costly to the school system, the community, the taxpayer, and the pupil population. Today, more and more states also require a computer background check by a police department. The questions asked in the interview are important and should be established in advance. Although the plan should be to ask each candidate the same questions, allowances must be made for individual questions where appropriate.
Some questions are inappropriate to ask any candidate.
Don't ask questions about matters that aren't really related to the job and job performance. Think of your various teaching experiences and recall one experience that went very well, maybe better than you expected. Tell me about it. Tell me about an experience that did not go well. Describe it to me.
