School administrators often consider a candidate's social media presence before hiring them. They may look for inappropriate content that could poorly reflect the school's reputation. This includes but is not limited to posts containing discriminatory language, violent behavior, sexually provocative photos, or drug use. Administrators may also search for indications of unprofessional conduct or negative attitudes toward students or colleagues. As a math teacher, it is important to be mindful of your social media activity and ensure your online presence aligns with the values and expectations of the school you are applying to. Let the interviewer know if anything would be unbecoming of a teacher at their school. Better yet, if there is anything you are concerned about, it is best to eliminate that material from your account or delete your account before a background search is performed. If you have nothing to worry about, let the interviewer know how professional you are and that you do not post anything unprofessional on your social media accounts.
