Here are some sample questions you may encounter during a Health education interview...
Your Health Education Program:
- How do you see the National Health Education and New York State Standards affecting your teaching?
- Say we're coming to your class to observe. Would we see that your classes as being more teacher- or more learner-centered? Why? Give examples.
- How might Skills-based Instruction influence how you teach? Can you give an example?
- What would be the top three goals of your health education curriculum?
Collaboration/ Being a Team Player:
- Choose one health content area. Using that content area, what are some ways you could you collaborate with four different persons, each one representing a different component of the Coordinated School Health Program?
- What are some ways you might communicate with parents during the year?
Student Learning/ Assessment:
- Give a few examples of an alternative assessment you might use with students (in a content area of student's choice).
Inclusion/ Classroom Environment:
- What are two different strategies you could use to make your learning environment emotionally healthy for all students?
Technology:
- How might you use technology to assist you in your teaching? Give us a few examples.
- Our district has as a goal that each content area will require students to utilize technology as a learning tool. How might you do this?
Professionalism:
- If you had to choose three health-related documents, on a national level, that have most influenced the type of health educator you have become, which ones would you pick, and why?
- What professional organizations do you belong to? What professional health education journals do you read? What is the last professional conference you've attended?
Scenario Questions:
- A student in grade 7 calls another student a "faggot". How do you deal with it?
- Your administration tells you that you should teach an "abstinence only" sexuality curriculum. A freshmen girls comes to you and confides that her boyfriend is pressuring her to have intercourse. What do you say to her?
- You have a parent who calls you and tells you that he/she thinks that his/her child is using drugs. They want your help in finding this out. What do you say?
Closing:
- We have one position open that involves teaching four classes of health a day and one of physical education. We're not sure if this will open up into a full-time Physical Education position, for a few more years. How do you feel about teaching in a position such as this?
