Please share online teaching/grading phone interview questions. I'll start...

Would any of you mind sharing phone interview questions for online distance learning/grading jobs? I often freeze in interviews, but do fine with a little prep. I'll start by posting an SAT grading question (really the only question they ever asked) to get the ball rolling.

"Describe a situation in which you didn't agree with curriculum or content you were required to teach. How did you handle it?"

I said that during student teaching I was paired with a teacher whose teaching methods were not what I was being taught in grad school but that I just went with the program and tried to learn as much as I could from him. I kept in mind that I'd have my own class soon, blah, blah, blah"

I got the job....

Anyone else want to share? If you remember what online school asked the question, that would be great too...

 

Here are a few:
What specifically interests you about becoming an online instructor?
When facilitators have a passion for teaching, it shows in the classroom. How would you create a positive learning-centered environment
Aside from your education and experience, what will you do to help better educate your students?
What will you do if you are met with opposition by your students?

 

Few that I have gotten more than once:

How do you deal with angry students?

How is your job experience related to your online teaching?

How do your education relate to the position you are applying?

Do you have publications?

Do you have experience supervising research?

 

Interrogation

A couple more;

Aside from your education and experience, what will you do to help better educate your students?

What methods would you implement to aid in their education?

How would you be effective with entry-level college students?

Participation is very important for the student as well as the facilitator. As a facilitator, you will be required to participate in the online classroom environment 5 out of 7 days a week. How would you meet these participation requirements? What types of techniques would you use to get students to participate?

 

Thanks, you guys are great!

I'm so glad for these responses. Thank you! Please share any others that come to mind....Some of these would definitely take some thought so they're good to know ahead of time...

I thought of another one I read somewhere on these forums: "What are the latest trends in education (or your field)" I can't remember the question, exactly, but something to that effect.
