Hello today we were allowed to bring a guest . My guest is Perla, a previous schoolblogger. We have to thank the NJ journalism students for the mini lessons they provided us. We are doing a simulation interview of our teachers. We plan to include a disclaimer(which we learned about this morning) along with our interview. Last week we brainstormed interview questions. We came up with 10 interview questions. Over the week we came up with more.
Lindsay's and Perla's Interview with Mrs. Mateling
Lindsay and Perla: We were informed you have taught not only in Rockdale Ct. but also in others. Which schoolsystem do you like the most? Why?
Mrs.Mateling: I like Rockdale better because they care more about their children and have the smartest kids in G.A.
Lindsay and Perla: Your husband is a teacher as well as you. Do your children like having two parents with a teaching profession?
Mrs. Mateling: Yes they are perfectly fine with it
Lindsay and Perla: What is your saddest situation you have encountered in your years of teaching?
Mrs Mateling: Seeing a very very smart child fail.
Lindsay and Perla: What is the happiest day of school for you? Why?
Mrs. Mateling: The happiest day of school for me is the last day because everyone is so happy and dressed up.
Lindsay and Perla: How many years have you been teaching?
Mrs. Mateling: I have been teaching for 30 yrs.
Lindsay and Perla: How many parents of your students have you taught?
Mrs. Mateling: Well, let me think, I think it would total up to about 10.
Lindsay and Perla: What let you know that you were meant to be a teacher?
Mrs. Mateling: When I was a teen I worked at camps and I loved to work with the children and things went from there.
Lindsay and Perla: Explain the unique way of teaching.
Mrs. Mateling: I like to let my students have fun so they actually want to come to school everyday.
Lindsay and Perla: Do you believe teachers are treated with enough respect?
Mrs. Mateling: Absoluteley NOT!!
Lindsay and Perla: Did you always want to be a teacher Why or Why not?
Mrs. Mateling: No actually I went to school believing I wanted to be a Social Worker. But halfway through college I realized I was meant to be a teacher.
Hi Lindsay,
This is a really good interview that you and Perla did. Isn't it really interesting to be able to talk to your teacher and learn different things about her. I am studying really hard to become a teacher and I hope that I will be the kind of teacher that students find interested and interesting.
I am sorry that I have not had the opportunity to write you and your class lately. The time that I have been able to write has been well worth the effort because I have learned so much.
Have a great summer and hopefully we will be able to do this again next year.
Take care.
