Advice and answer examples written specifically for an Assistant Principal job interview.
3. What programs or projects have you been responsible for implementing at your current position?
What You Need to Know
This is an excellent time for the interviewer to learn more about your existing experience and how great of a performer you already are! Talk about when teachers, students, or parents have given you the most positive feedback about programs or projects you have been responsible for implementing. It is best to pick programs implemented within the past five years. Be eager to discuss how you selected the program or project, how you implemented it, and the glowing remarks you received from others following its implementation. If you do not have project development experience, share what you would like to get involved in.

Entry Level Example
"I implemented our school's LGBTQ student group. It is student-led, which allows our student body to make decisions about their learning and the types of diversity events they offer. It's been a great awareness program for our school."

Answer Example
"I organized a charity concert to raise money for a local school that had a damaged building from the recent typhoon. This was the first time our school had had this kind of event, and it happened during the busy college application season, so it took a lot of effort to collaborate with the choir and orchestra. The event was a success, and we raised a few thousand dollars to donate to the school. The parents loved the performance, and the students enjoyed contributing."

Experienced Example
"So glad you asked! I recently led a team of teachers to implement an e-scheduling tool for students and parents to enroll students for the upcoming school year. The app development was an upfront investment, but we weighed the costs and ended up saving on administrative hours. Now, students have an excellent way to learn about classroom offerings. Meanwhile, administrators are saving time on human resource-related tasks and the enrollment process."
