1. What do you do if you see a teacher did something wrong to a student?
I would ask the teacher privately about the situation and how she handled it, so next time l will know what to do if the same thing happened to me. If it was child abuse, l would report it.
2. What type of environment you work best in?
I work best in a structural environment in which that is a routine and schedule to follow everyday. (this might be hard if it's a lower grade).
3.What's your strength?
I have a lot of patient, l can sit with a student until he understands a problem. I will try different tactics to help him understand like role play or doing it step by step.
4. What's the most frustrated part about working in special ed?
The hardest part is that you don't see results right away especially kids w/ autism. You need to wait and have a lot patient. It doesn't mean you're not doing a good job, but the learning process just takes time.
5. Our school is very culturally diverse, do you work well in this situation?
Yes, l have been working as a sub for 1 year and l 've work with different teachers/staff with different personalities. This kind of exposure makes me adopt to the situation very quickly, and l enjoy working with diverse group of people and l've learned a lot from it.
6.How would you help a shy student make friends?
In the classroom, l would observe which student he/she feels comfortable with, or he/she is more talkative toward. In recess l would bring a toy, l would ask the 2 including myself, to play together. I will leave them when l see they're at ease with one another.
7. What would you do if you see 2 students arguing on the playground?
I would talk to them separately, and have them explain the situation to me.
Afterwards, l would explain them the school rules and it's unacceptable to fight,to use friendly language and respect each other, l would ask them to leave each other alone for today.
8. How would you approach speech therapy with autism students?
I was not prepared for that question. IT sounds a bit advance for aide position. So l just said that you have to be willing to be repetitive, and have the student repeat certain phases in order to get what they want.
If a student want a cookie, l would tell him "use your language", l also will give him prompt if he had problems w/ getting the words out. So, being repetitive , also a loud and clear voice.
That are the answers l gave, please give me some tips on refining them. Much appreciated. Thanks.
