Hi, I am a student in my first semester of grad school (getting an MA in elementary education). I am tasked with interviewing a current elementary school teacher about their experiences as a teacher. I have my questions prepared, and I can post them to this thread. All I need is your name, work phone number, and the address of the school you teach at. Questions: ● What state standards or national standards do you use when planning instruction? ● From your experience, how do state and national standards impact standards-based curriculum on students? On teachers? on school's goals? ● What is the impact of your student population in your current setting? ● What are some ways your school or district work towards closing any achievement gaps? ● How has your identity as a teacher developed over the course of your career? ● What skills or practices do you feel are needed to be a successful teacher? ● How would you describe your teaching style? ● What are some ways that you have continued to grow in your practice or professional development?
