TALC Academy interview questions

30 minutes - one day - all details of the job ie salary and benefits and hours were provided on a page so I did not have to ask questions about them. I appreciated this because otherwise asking the salary can be awkward

When I initially received the call about this interview, I was very excited. The director told me it was a very laid back environment, not to come dressed up, and was very pleasant. The school is easy to get to, 2 minutes off the highway. I arrived and the interview began right away. They asked a series of questions about how I perceived Special Education, and whether I would be willing to "spoon feed" students information on assignments and tests because critical thinking was quite low in the majority of their students. They mentioned that in most cases, this would not improve, and I had to be ok with guiding students to the correct responses. One thing that was frustrating was that I was required to sign the contract during my interview. I was not allowed to take time to digest what we spoke about, and their contract is very onesided in that it states that you must provided 3 months notice for quitting, and that they will report you to the Ontario College of Teachers if you quit, AND that you cannot apply for any other teaching positions anywhere for a full year.
