What is the extent of your prior employment in education? Do you understand and appreciate the different pressures and competing demands on community college students? Will you hold the students to the same standards of excellence as a four year college? Will you permit students to submit homework assignments late, without deduction in their grade?
What things are you doing? Does the course seem like something you could teach well.
Tell me about yourself and teaching styles.
What classes would I be interested in teaching
I was prepared for all the questions and had accurately guessed at the sort I would be asked. Be prepared to answer questions about previous academic experience, teaching experience, teaching philosophy and approach, and what you see as being the role of community college education and how it should be approached.
They asked me about my prior experience with first generation college students, my availability to teach a full part-time load of 3 classes, and whether I would be interested in teaching evening classes.
What texts have you used
Nothing surprising really.
They asked how I would handle a student who was struggling in my class.
