Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Hi, I have a job interview on friday for a reception class and the questions are going to be based on classroom approaches and practices. Could someone please help me by suggesting what sort of questions they may ask thanks alot
Helen Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I would be fairly confident the subjects of continuous provision, and adult-directed/child-initiated play would come up. Are you confident with the EYFS documents? Do you know the kind of structure the reception class has now? Or whether the school fully embraces the ethos of the EYFS ?(or whether they're stuck in the dark ages? )
Guest Wolfie Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I agree with what Helen has said -you might also want to have a look at the Letters and Sounds document?
Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Good luck from me too. I am not in a reception class but feel the other suggestions are probable.. maybe questions re planning too?
Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Just adding my best wishes, good luck for Friday. Peggy
Beau Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I'm not of any use either but wanted to wish you good luck for Friday too.

HappyMaz Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Am no use to you whatsoever - but wanted to wish you well for your interview. Let us know how you get on, won't you? Maz
Guest Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 hi, have another question, am going to read the story of the gingerbread man using a story board as a visual aid. Is it better to use the book, or is it better to use the powerpoint presentation on the interactive whiteboard they have in the classroom.
Guest Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) I would say engage with the pupils directly-props or book. Bit of dramas-apron and bowl for old lady, mask for animals etc all children to join in 'run run' length of blue fabric for the river.Ask enabling questions. I think they will be looking for your interaction with the children and how you maintain their interest. Edited September 10, 2008 by Guest
