An interview is an opportunity for me to learn more about your school.
Are you open to using these procedures?
projects portfolios
digital portfolios team teaching
cross-discipline planning (one project for several classes)
The flipped classroom (lectures on video, class time for discussion and elaboration of the themes in the lectures)
controlled / limited / careful use of social media for academic purposes
smart use of the Internet
Do you have teachers who used to be in business or other professions?
Penpals with other schools
peer mentoring by teachers (Finnish style "open door" observation)
internships and mentors (links with community for mentoring and volunteers)
after school hours? The "community school"
Are your students asked to help keep the school clean and organized? (some schools have extra brooms available to sweep and dust the classrooms)
Do any of these authors inform your procedures?
Malcolm Gladwell 10,000 hours (Outliers)
Blink
Dan Pink: Drive (autonomy, mastery, purpose, Fedex day)
To Sell is Human (the new elevator pitch)
A Whole New Mind (Conceptual age, Automation, Asia, Abundance)
Thomas Friedman The World is Flat
