Sample interview questions
I would use short, interactive activities that combine visuals, movement, counting games, and frequent opportunities for students to respond. I would vary the pace every few minutes, use positive reinforcement, and connect concepts to familiar objects such as toys, snacks, or shapes in the home.
I begin with a quick check for understanding and provide layered questions. For example, one student may practice counting objects while another compares quantities or explains a pattern. I use encouragement and targeted support so every child can participate without feeling singled out.
I would share the concepts covered, the student's participation and demonstrated strengths, one or two specific areas for continued practice, and a simple at-home activity. The update should be positive, clear, and actionable while inviting parents to ask questions.
I would review the student's age and any available background information, prepare a welcoming diagnostic activity, and select engaging tasks with multiple entry points. During the lesson, I would observe number sense, attention, confidence, and communication to recommend an appropriate class placement.
I would calmly redirect the student using their name, a simple choice, or an interactive task such as showing an object or answering with fingers. If needed, I would briefly adjust the activity, reinforce expected behavior positively, and maintain a warm, structured environment for the whole class.
