The hardest part is just timing. You have to make sure you talk to the vice principals when they are actually hiring and aren't just concerned about getting through the year. I suggest sending e-mails out once in March and again in May. Don't be offended if they don't answer though. Many schools hire during the summer.

Question 1
Around 8 questions. Be prepared to speak about your classroom management, communication with families, collaboration with team.
easy, and very straight to the point, however, my supervisor told me the questions they asked and whatnot and found some of the questions to be odd. However, you cannot determine who is on the panel and what questions they deem to be realistic. I would rather actually spend time learning about the district and expectations.

Tell me about your experiences? How would you xyz (all best practice type of stuff)
The interview took place in person with a team of teachers from the grade they were hiring for. All teachers took turns asking questions. After the interview, the administration team reached out to you by email regarding job offer.
