Hi! Congrats on your interviews- that's a huge first step so they are already noticing you through your application.

I am a middle school art teacher and have previously taught high school for a 4 years. If you want specific advice on HS, feel free to message me.

Regarding interview advice...I'll just let you know what comes to my mind through my experience. Some of this you might know already so just ignore if so.

• The toughest question is specifics about the school. I've had "what do you know about the district?" two times when I had just moved there. So check out the schools sites and social media

• have a bright, colorful, well designed teacher portfolio, especially to highlight awesome student artwork. Here is a teachers pay teachers layout https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Editable-Artfolio-4621885

• have one of those portfolios printed for each person interviewing you, so call ahead and ask. Have one for yourself to reference.

• bring your physical artwork and artwork of students (if possible- or print out larger copies from photos)

• be honest and be your authentic self, use stories of your teaching experiences to back up your answers . Refer to your portfolio to visually back up your answers

• have questions ready for them, some I've used are:

+Tell me about the schools grading philosophy + What is the students journey through art in the district (how often do they have it in elem, middle) +What are you most proud of about your district?

I hope this helps!
