Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted September 8, 2008 Share 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? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted September 8, 2008 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 10, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2008 Share 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.
