Student Master Teacher Interview Questions 1
1. How do you plan for the year? What do you decide to teach
and in what order?
How do you plan for a month?
How do you plan for a week?
How do you plan for each day?
Dan plans out of the book for each year. He collaborates with the other
8th grade math teacher and looks at each section to include content
that meets high school expectations. They teachers create and use a
pacing guide. They cross out non-essential standards of the publisher.
The content/ standards of the year are split up into 3 semester. The
goal is to try to get all academic content taught prior to CAASPP
testing.
During the week: Week lessons, review, test/quiz.
Daily: Teacher goes off sections in the book and uses student feedback
to determine if the class can move on or if he needs to reteach.
Typically each section takes one day of instruction, but larger sections
can take more time. The standards that are essential standards for 8 th
grade are heavily stressed and more time is taken.
Procedure: Routines to get books, white boards and papers. Usually the
front rows are asked to pass out materials.
Daily structure: Students come into class, sit down, take
homework out, go over homework, then write notes for
the lesson, and work on assignments in groups. The
students then make sure the room is back in order and
trash is picked up before dismissed. The rest of the week
consists of a review and quiz or test; however,
assemblies, 3 day weekends, and breaks sometimes
mess up the schedule.
