Assistant Principal Interview Questions

1. 1.

   What would you change about yourself to make you a better assistant principal?

   This question holds two purposes. First, the interviewer wants to see that you understand everyone holds the room for improvement. Second, this item provides insight into who you are as a person. Pick a quality that is not essential to your success in the role. We all have something to improve on, so don't be afraid to tell the interviewer what you would change.
   
   

   

   Rachelle's Answer

   "I would make myself a super-speed reader to breeze through my emails quicker each day which would allow me to have more time to spend interacting with my students and teachers."

   

   Rachelle's Answer

   "I would become more mindful of getting to know the students and teachers on a personal level. I tend to dive into work so deep that I could better remind myself that some play at work is alright, too."

   

   Rachelle's Answer

   "I would facilitate more harmony between the teachers. We see each other for many hours in a day, but maybe we don't even know the most basic things about each other. I'd organize get-togethers, parties, or even workshops to get teachers more involved in each others' lives. These efforts would create a stronger workplace support system."

   "I would try and build positive relationships with both teachers and students by making myself more accessible. I would like to be present at the morning line-up to meet and greet the students and teachers or visit classrooms as often as I can."
