It's hard to comment on class when you are not there;)
I was excused for a student teaching event. All student teachers enrolled in the School of Education (which includes me) has to participate in a "mock interview event". This involves sitting at a table with three other student teachers as local principals and U of M faculty move from table to table to interview one student at a time. In between the 20 minute interviews we were given the opportunity to provide feedback to each other.
This was an extremely valuable event for me as I have had exactly three interviews in my life- now four.
I just hope my next interview will be for a position as a school media specialist:)
This sounds like a great low pressure interview test. I know SI does set up mock interviews, but I always feel like you wouldn't want to go in to a real employer for a fake interview and really screw up. I like the idea of testing yourself with your peers. Having the group must relieve some of that pressure.
ReplyDeleteHaving peers there totally helped relieve the pressure- and also created a learning experience for the rest of us. I'm happy to say that the three other interviewees at the table provided me with good "what to do" scenarios.
