Tough Interview Question from a Getty TeacherArtExchange Fellow member:
I went to an interview for a public schoolhouse fine art task and the woman that interviewed me... asked me to tell her the CURRICULUM for ALL form levels in the following medias: painting, drawing and ceramics... How should I prepare for this possibly happening again?
Response from Marvin Bartel: Equally an interviewer, the purpose is to assess the candidates preparation and abilities in comparing to other candidates. I recall this interviewer is asking the right thing. You want to a teacher that knows the field.
Every bit a candidate, I would reply past saying that this is a smashing question, and follow with an articulate philosophy of art instruction, offering at to the lowest degree one good painting, cartoon, and ceramics case to clarify my philosophy of fine art teaching. This is difficult, but certainly worth preparing because it is the same training needed teach.
Response from Judy Decker: When I went to my outset job interview and was asked what I would teach at what grade level (this was for high schoolhouse), I handed him my complete curriculum guide. He was impressed with the variety of media. I was a "dreamer"... I wrote up a curriculum for jewelry, ceramics, sculpture, fibers, drawing, painting, and printmaking - likewise equally an Fine art Fundamentals class. I may take had a crafts elective, too (don't remember now). Now a days, y'all would have to write one for Graphic Blueprint/Computer graphics as well.
Perchance pre-service students should at to the lowest degree exist required to write out a curriculum map of what they might teach at what grade level. I take a feeling the Interviewer was "testing" this applicant to see if she was familiar with the stages of artistic evolution.
Here are some questions to post to the interviewer (oh, and have notes!) - from Pat:
one. How much is the fine art upkeep?
2. How large is the course size (be sure to ask for biggest!)
iii. How many students will I be serving? (case: if elementary are you going to see every student yard-vi? K-3? three-6? If Loftier School is every freshman required to accept Fine art I?
4. Be sure to see the room. If they don't prove you the room a Large Ruby FLAG should go up as either A) the room is small and outdated or B) you are fine art on a cart -- there are plenty of people on the list who can tell yous what THAT is similar.
5. When you lot see the room Exist NOSY! Go through the drawers and cupboards to see what is there and what condition it is in. You might go what yous think is a large budget, but if you have to replace everything in the room, it will get fast.
6. Inquire about the subject area policy. I have run into too many principals who do not enforce discipline. Ask questions virtually typical problems and how you should handle them. (some desire students in the office, others want you to handle everything)
Now, if you're feeling nervy, then do some quick math and effigy out the per student amount you are getting for a budget. If it is an insult, put information technology back to them. Ask them how they await you to have a high quality program with a depression quality budget. If you don't feel like putting it back to them, do the math at home and inquire yourself if you can teach with that upkeep, conditions, etc.
Also, some questions that you lot might not think to ask...
7. Are you going to exist required to perform any actress duties? New teachers get hid hardest with this. Everything from tiffin or omnibus duty, to class sponsor and Prom planner. If so, are you going to receive a stipend for performing them?
8. Does the district pay for standing education? Believe it or not some schools will pay for a teacher to go a Masters degree. They have this weird thought that a better educated teacher makes a better instructor.
9. How many hours per year continuing education does the district require? If information technology is a small district, the school will probably plan something for every teacher to do together. Bigger districts let teachers to make some choices.
ten. Are there whatsoever contests or exhibits that you are REQUIRED to enter student art in? Examples: Scholastic or Youth Art Month.
11. When finished with the interview sign and appointment the notes you took. If you want, have the interviewer sign and date information technology likewise. This comes in handy subsequently on if they endeavour to change anything they told you in the interview. (large one? budget--they'll cutting you any run a risk they go--if they endeavor and y'all are in high schoolhouse get the public records for how much coin is spent on the football program (you'll exist surprised at how much this is!--I taught at a schoolhouse that played six man football game and spent $100,000 a yr WATERING THE Football FIELD--and inquire what percentage they are cutting of this funding (this always throws them for a loop).

What to Include in a Teaching Portfolio
These responses were generated on ArtsEducators' list serve at the request of Dan Cherney, educatee teacher.
From Ken Schwab: I accept had to hire 4 new teachers in the terminal few years. I would say that I look to run across a portfolio from the applicant, some don't bring i. In this portfolio whatever scores on the Praxis would exist bang-up. (I was a reader for that test) In the work to be shown, it is important to show your own piece of work and to prove that you accept the skills, only more than importantly, to prove pupil work. And so many artists are great in doing their own work only if you can besides get it out of the students, and then information technology is a real adept indicator of the kind of teacher yous are. Some teachers are able to get much better results from their kids than they can do themselves. Equally an interviewer I would similar to see both and as many examples as yous can offer. Slides, prints (photo'due south) or actual works.
~ Ken Schwab, Art teacher, Leigh High School, San Jose, CA
From Bunki Kramer: While you are still educatee teaching, brand certain you take some 35mm photos of you lot education kids, student pictures of their working on your projects, and finished student projection works. Make sure all the kids and you are SMILING! As the adage says, "A picture is worth a 1000 words". The image will stay in the employer mind's center. When they call back of you lot, they volition conjure up the images of smiles and products. If you can bring a few hands-carried products, so much the amend. Many administrators haven't a clue about the process of art and are tuned in to product-oriented examples to see how you will showcase the school and how you will handle bailiwick while producing.
I hold with your advisor... forget showing your grades because you lot won't be considered a "student" anymore but volition be labeled a "professional" already graduated. Y'all'll need resume, perchance schooling, lots and lots of photos (possibly an album like I did), a lesson program with a finished product, and maybe your philosophy (though I never had to deliver one). If y'all've had other feel... like education art in summer campsite, volunteer work with special ed., whatever little actress things similar that are helpful. Add a few photos of your own work.
My personal feel has been that educators are looking for someone who can evangelize products, brand them look good (showcasing), handle his/her own discipline in the classroom successfully without ambassador help, and is a team histrion who volition blend in with their faculty comfortably. It's really all about what YOU tin practice for THEM.
~ Bunki Kramer, Los Cerros Middle School
From Professor Craig Roland: Here are the guidelines (in a PDF file) that fine art teaching students
use at the Academy of Florida to assemble their education portfolios:
http://plaza.ufl.edu/rolandc/arted/courses/portfolioguidelines.pdf 
Students' portfolios must pass a concluding review by the two art teaching faculty and an outside evaluator (typically a local art instructor) in order for them to graduate. You lot might be interested in seeing the rubric we use to score these portfolios. It'due south likewise a PDF file (requiring Acrobat Reader) and tin can be establish at:
http://plaza.ufl.edu/rolandc/arted/courses/rubric.pdf
While nosotros've used teaching portfolios hither at UF for years, its just been recently that they've become a "high-stakes" state of affairs. A few years also, Florida mandated that all beginning teachers in the state must demonstrate 12 Educator Accomplished Practices in order to exist certified. In add-on to using portfolios to determine our students' readiness to enter the classroom, nosotros also use formal written observations by the cooperating teacher and academy supervisor of the students' actual teaching in the classroom.
As you lot've no dubiety discovered, constructing a teaching portfolio is a pretty exhaustive process. Our feel with them here at UF suggests that the work pays off. Most of our students who become looking for jobs become rave reviews by potential employers and oftentimes get hired based largely on what they prove in their portfolios.
The expectations indicated on this list (equally well as the portfolio development process) are fully integrated into a four-twelvemonth programme and students are given lots of assistance and feedback along the way. Our students begin collecting materials for their portfolios from the moment they enter the Introduction to Art Instruction class and continue to practise and then upwardly through their student teaching.
I endeavor to simplify the expectations (for both students and myself) with my own translation of what the state is expecting. It goes something like this:
Yous need to be able to show in your portfolio that you:
Utilize both traditional and alternative forms of assessment to evaluate and assist student learning and operation in the classroom.
Write and speak clearly.
Engage in professional activities beyond the classroom that lead to self improvement.
Teach your students to think--critically and creatively.
Differentiate between students and adapt your lessons accordingly.
Conduct yourself in a professional person manner.
Provide a positive learning environment for all students.
Know your subject and are able to translate that knowledge into effective lessons.
Tin manage an fine art classroom.
Incorporate a variety of methods, activities and resource in your instruction.
Run across to it that yous contribute to your school and community.
Utilise technology to promote student learning.
Seen this way the expectations don't seem so overwhelming.
~ Craig Roland - Associate Professor of Art Education - School of Art and Art History - University of Florida
From Patty Knott: This is what I wait for. As department coordinator, I am asked to sit in on interviews. I accept care of the art office because the administrator doesn't know.
I want to see a portfolio of the teacher's work. I do, in fact, desire to know that the potential teacher is capable of making art. I want to run into that the art making goes beyond "crafty" I want to see exploration and some articulation of purpose. I want to run across more than just "dabbling into various processes."
I want to come across a portfolio of pupil piece of work and I want to see exploration of potential in that pupil work. I don't care about "slick" I want to see thinking process. I want to encounter original lessons, I want to see that students are encouraged to pursue individual idea.
I want to come across a lesson plan. I want to see that the potential instructor knows what an objective is. I want to see objectives not activities. What is being achieved? I want to see lessons that offset with a big question and and then go backwards. I want to see more than achieving a skill or technique, I desire to meet thinking procedure.
I asked my interviewees, "What is your philosophy of art ed?" and my questions are pointed to know that there is some sense of history as regards to the philosophies -- Lowenfeld, Bartel, Eisner, etc...
And I expect to be interviewing next twelvemonth. My large concern volition be technology. I firmly believe we engage the "fringes' of kids past offering the experiences that the estimator can give. I want to know that a candidate for a position has the knowledge and foresight for using technology to it's potential and not but for "noise."
So there are my observations from the assistants side --- they don't care about art they want to know about basic teacher stuff.
They care about classroom direction stuff.
They will ask near the latest "buzz words" and approximate you by your responses.
They will want to know how you will make parent contact.
They will desire to know that y'all will give 200% for extracurricular
activities.They don't want to hear yous say "no" to annihilation.
They want to know how you "differentiate."
They want to know that you lot create educatee directed lessons.
They want to know that you know all the crap going on and you lot are willing to
go forth with information technology.They don't want to know that you retrieve - they only desire to know you go
"along"
The process differs from district to district. Some desire you to actually present a lesson.
In my district, even when you get beyond the principal and supervisor, the Superintendent hammers the candidates.
My final best advice is: Exist prepared for the toughest questions. Don't rely on what you may think is sound education. Play the "game" and spout jargon but be careful that you may be smarter than they are. ~ Patty Knott
From Tehya May: When I interviewed for fine art positions I created a folder which was divided into several sections. Of grade the basic data such as resume, transcripts, practice didactics evaluations, test scores (Praxis) etc. were all included
Also included were one or two samples of complete unit of measurement lessons (with examples of educatee work-- either the bodily work, photos or slides, worksheets I had created, tests, written report guides, notes... Ability Point presentations.... notations made as to what state standards they correlate to)
Probably one of the best things I included was a videotape of myself teaching class (& the students on task after instruction time.)
My portfolio eliminated many of the traditional questions that the interviewers had to ask--because they could "run into" what I was doing, or how --and had the fourth dimension to wait over everything. When interviewing with the portfolio I always felt confident. Information technology is definitely a adept thing to update from year to yr.
From Maggie White: I take a teacher portfolio that principals seem to similar. I keep everything in a prissy-looking three-band folder. Most of the things are in plastic sheet protectors; pages are placed back-to-back and so all pages are viewable without having to slide things in and out.. I have it organized like this: Resume-Since a resume was not required at the fourth dimension of application for this particular job (a recent job interview), I made an extra re-create to hand the principal to keep with my application. The next section is labeled Curriculum--hither I have a curriculum map and sample lesson plans which bear witness my versatility and cognition of the standards. The next department is Assessment--the rubric I use for grading, the rubric I post effectually the room for the students (my version of one that Woody Duncan wrote), and the critique form the students fill out later on an assignment. I don't give tests in my studio classes, but I included slides of student work in a variety of media. I wouldn't take bodily artwork in if I were you. The next section is Certificates and Recommendations (from former administration and teachers), along with my fingerprint card. And then comes Transcripts, and the concluding section is a re-create of a presentation I gave at NAEA. Except for the resume, I don't make copies of anything. If the interviewer would like copies of anything, they tin can have it done in the role. Some interviewers have actually read the portfolio items carefully, some flip through information technology (merely to exist polite?), and some don't fifty-fifty look at it. Resist the urge to talk or explain anything in your portfolio unless someone asks yous a question. Let it speak for itself.
How to Prepare for an Interview - Advice from Ken Rohrer (former principal)
one) Bring along a portfolio. If you can put your portfolio on a CD, make a re-create for the principal and
anyone else on the interview team. You can leave this with them later you leave.
2) Convince the principal that you will employ art to raise test scores by integrating some of your lessons into the core subjects.
3) Be prepared to share your strengths and weaknesses. When you lot state your weakness, share how y'all are working to overcome that weakness.
Don't give the interview squad the following answers:
"I'm a perfectionist."
"I accept on likewise much work and need to larn to say no."
The reason for this is that they are canned answers and don't give you an advantage over other candidates. As a principal I became tired of the same canned answers to this question. Here is an case of how to address the weakness question and come up out with flying colors:
Principal: "Tell usa your greatest weakness."
Teaching candidate: "I am a visual learner and sometimes I forget about things that aren't in front of me or can be seen. This is why I now rely heavily on Outlook to remind me of meetings or other tasks. Since I began using applied science to help me, I accept been more organized and efficient."
iv) Search their website for details nigh the school that you tin can incorporate into your interview. For case, if they are really into Howard Gardner, talk virtually how yous will help visual learners to succeed in school.
5) Be positive and energetic during the interview.
6) Describe what you can exercise for the school and district.
seven) If there will exist other art teachers present, mention Discipline-based art education, TAB Choice, or other curriculum based on current enquiry. If y'all don't know much near it, read upward on information technology. Be able to tell how these take influenced your own way of teaching. Fine art supervisors or art chairs look for candidates who are well versed in electric current trends and research.
How to Land that "Dream Job" - Advice from Ken Rohrer (former principal)
When a position opened in my schoolhouse I gave preferences to those who were excellent substitute teachers in the building. Second on the list were those who had interesting resumes that were hand delivered to the secretary. 3rd were those that were e-mailed or snail-mailed directly to me and last, the ones that were sent to the central office or applied online. I always hated going there considering they had thousands of resumes to wade through. Although the central office asked that all administrators visit the building and go through them, I didn't wait at many because I was busy. I have never hired a teacher who simply submitted a resume to the central office.
My recommendation is that yous first pattern and write a quality resume and embrace letter. You lot then discover out which school has an actual opening and then send the main your resume. Manus delivery is the best. Come up with artistic ways to brand yourself stand out among other candidates. 65 other people may be applying for the position. Y'all will also need to transport it to the key office or apply online because nearly districts crave it. Do a niggling inquiry on writing resumes that come to the acme in scans. These scans will eliminate xc% of the resumes and the remainder are then read by the principal and/or interview team. It is possible that a resume can be posted or sent to a schoolhouse district and never be read by a human.
Networking is also crucial to the job search. At this time of year it volition be hard to visit with principals, but in March and April- call a main and tell them that you would like their advice on the quality of your resume. Tell them you don't desire an interview, you lot just want their advice. Substitute teach in the district you desire and let the principal know you are looking for a job. While in each building, talk to the art teacher and ask them if they know whatever of their colleagues who are leaving the profession or of whatever art openings that may go available.
In highly competitive areas, you will have do become across simply sending in a comprehend letter and resume or applying online. Schools usually hire people they already know.
How to Land that "Dream Job" - Advice from Judy Decker
You will need to practise something that makes your letter of the alphabet stand to a higher place the rest. What if you created a web page nigh you and your work? - have piece of work of your students and sample lesson plans (from student instruction) and your own work (no names on student work of grade -- merely even then permission should be granted for utilise of student work). Include the URL in your alphabetic character. Another option would exist to create a PowerPoint virtually you lot - your work and student work. Ship the PowerPoint on CD along with a sample lesson plans showing cadre integration - comprehensive arts - and noesis of Net/technology (all on the CD). Do something that sets you above the others and will brand you stick out in their mind. Be different. Perchance wear and original fine art pin (For guys? an unusual necktie clasp? Tin can you become past with a fine art tie these days in an interview?) When you lot go for an interview be prepared to teach them a mini lesson - take supplies and visual resources with you for the lesson (but in case).
This is what got me my "dream task" (pre-technology for me) The superintendent who interviewed me liked my answers. The interview lasted more than 2 hours. The super in the commune at that time wanted to make the final decisions. Both main and super liked my honesty in the way I answered questions well-nigh previous jobs.
This is the question that got me the job:
"What is the about recent book y'all have read? Why did you read that book? What did you lot acquire from information technology?"
I had only finished reading "ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN" past Robert Fulghum. We talked a lot about it - and Character Education (What kids really needed - I was ahead of my time - this was 1991).
On my way dwelling, I stopped at the store and bought a box of 64 crayons. I wrote a meaningful Thank you alphabetic character - hit some central points of the Interview - and mailed crayons and letter to the superintendent. Sure, it was a gamble. That would never accept worked with present administration. The former superintendent really liked me. We had the same goals for students - same philosophy (Interdisciplinary connections were important to him, likewise - Art is cardinal to learning in all subjects).
My portfolio was expert, too, as it included sample kids' art and lesson plans. It as well helped that I had done a long term sub position in the district a couple years prior. If you haven't subbed much - Do! And get involved with the local art association. I taught art classes at our clan. The recommendation from them also clinched the job for me. What too impressed him was I knew the phone numbers of my references so he didn't take to look for them - I rattled them off for him from retentiveness. Chuckles - he did wonder if I always dressed and so overnice (I had worked retail earlier - and then had my share of suits at the fourth dimension). I had iii interviews (with three administrators) and wore 3 dissimilar suits.
How to Land that "Dream Job" - Advice from MaryAnn Kohl
Submit something creative. How about this:
Pattern a cereal box called Super Teacher Bits (or something better than that)-- and cover a real cereal box with things all most you... some art piece of work, some groundwork, like your nutritional facts could be: 100% dedicated, 200% excited to teach, etc. or 100 mg. dedication, 200 mg. determination. I remember your flick could be like a sports star on a Wheaties box. And I would add art work as well.
All of this could be done with a computer, but could be done on newspaper glued over the box.
Something to grab their heart, to testify you lot are creative, to show you have spunk.
- MaryAnn Kohl, art author Brightring.com
(From Judy: Put your CD and a few samples of art inside - these could exist photographs)
Job Fair Interview Advice from Ken Rohrer (erstwhile Master):
As a onetime principal who attended a few of these to notice candidates, I recommend that you have a portfolio along. Take your art reduced to fit in a portfolio that is about eleven X 16. Include your best projects and lessons. (the ones you did in college if yous're getting your first position)
If the identify is packed, I would recommend saying something like this:
"I know that you have seen many people today and probably are having a difficult time separating each candidate, so I won't waste your time. Here is my portfolio. It will show you how I will aid students succeed in your school..." Shake their hand warmly and hand them your carte du jour. This card is a large selling point so make certain it is professional and creative.
Information technology's besides a big plus (if information technology's an administrator interviewing) to accept some lessons that address various land standards and NCLB. Yous can integrate fine art into a few subject areas such as math, language arts and reading. Because of the tremendous pressure on them to better test scores, they will be broken-hearted to hire an art teacher that they think volition help increase scores in the school.
If y'all know what schools are interviewing at the off-white, visit their corresponding web sites and research the programs and philosophies that they use. Brand sure yous address these in the interview.
For example:
"I know that your schoolhouse embraces the Basic School by Ernest Boyer. I as well embrace his philosophy and..."
"Your school is big on learning styles and I take proficiency in each of Howard Gardner'south multiple intelligences. I can address the majority of these intelligences in my lessons..."
"Your schoolhouse is a large supporter of the 4 Block plan. I have created lessons that integrate all iv blocks..."
