National Association of District Supervisors of Foreign Languages

Hello - I am looking for sample interview questions to prepare for an interview for Coordinator of World Languages & ESOL.  This is a curriculum coordinator position for about 80 teachers in a district of 22,000 students.  Thank you in advance for any help.

Here are some questions that may be helpful!!
1. Describe your educational and professional journey and how it has led you to this opportunity
2. Education is a complex structure that is constantly changing. Describe how you plan to keep pace or stay ahead of changes in your role as WL curriculum coordinator.
3. Describe the process you would go through in handling a critical decision or difficult situation with a teacher.
4. If you were able to develop your own definition of "WL Curriculum Coordinator" what would that be?
5. You receive a phone call from a parent who is strenuously objecting to a lesson taught by a district WL teacher that involved religion (i.e., Day of the Dead, Christmas traditions, Mardi Gras/Fasching). What steps would you take in handling this situation?
6. Describe what you would want to see in a WL classroom if you popped in for a visit.
7. What structures would you consider putting into place in order to keep instruction equitable for students in the classrooms of all 80 WL teachers in the district?
8. Describe your management style and how you would adjust it for this role.
9. What would you define as "preferred instructional strategies" or "high yield strategies" in WL classrooms? Which would be a priority in this district?
