Oklahoma Teacher of the Year Interview Process as well as Video
Last week, I went through the day-long interview procedure for Oklahoma Teacher of the Year. I loved having the peril to utter most my favorite didactics ideas as well as the procedure I larn through to practise memorable experiences for my students, but an entire twenty-four hours of making small-scale utter was exhausting for this introvert.
It was non bad to larn to encounter the other 11 finalists. Everyone was super overnice as well as supportive. As nosotros each returned from our interviews, the remainder of the finalists would cheer. Even though nosotros are all competing against each other for the same honor, it didn't experience similar that at all.
The interview procedure consisted of 2 xv infinitesimal private interviews as well as 1 grouping interview. My showtime interview went SOOOO well. I got a peril to utter most what I dear most: teaching. I fifty-fifty got a peril to instruct the panel of judges how to play Slope Dude Says. At the halt of the interview, 1 of the judges thanked me for the fun experience. At lunch, 1 of the judges from that grouping came upward to me to country that I had done a non bad chore inwards my interview that morning.
My 2d interview went well, but I didn't experience similar I had the peril to actually showcase who I was. The questions they threw at me were kinda controversial. I felt similar I did a proficient chore answering them, but I didn't actually larn to pass much fourth dimension talking most what I love: teaching.
The lastly interview of the twenty-four hours was done Miss America Style. All twelve finalists were seated at the front end of the room. The xix judges were seated at desks inwards the Senate's Caucus Room. (The interviews were held inwards the Oklahoma State Capitol.) We each took turns going to the centre of the room, drawing a inquiry from a fish bowl, as well as answering it inwards a microphone inwards threescore to 90 seconds. The role of this interview was to approximate how good nosotros would live able to reply questions thrown at us yesteryear reporters if nosotros were instructor of the year.
After the grouping interview was finished, the panel of judges convened to pick out a winner. Unfortunately, nosotros don't larn to detect out who that winner is until September 19th. I'm as well as hence thankful to get got been able to larn inwards this far inwards the competition. I did my best amongst my interviews, as well as I know that the trial of this contest is exclusively inwards God's hands. If it is His volition that I live Oklahoma's Teacher of the Year, He volition larn inwards happen. If He has something else inwards shop for my future, He volition brand that happen, every bit well. Knowing this going inwards helped to accept away a lot of the pressure level I mightiness get got felt to campaign as well as "perform." Instead, I but decided to exhibit upward as well as live myself. After all, God's the 1 who made me just I am.
In add-on to our interviews, the judges also had access to our portfolio which contained our resume as well as vii essays as well as a 10 infinitesimal video that nosotros had to submit. One of the judges told me that he had watched each finalist's video 3 times. Let's practise the math. 10 minutes per video * 12 finalists * 3 times each = 6 HOURS of watching videos! That is dedication correct there. When I told him that, he responded that he is a superintendent as well as wants to accept the best ideas dorsum to his ain teachers. How awesome is that?!?
Shaun as well as I had to lay together this video spell nosotros were inwards Commonwealth of Australia amongst express network access. Even though the procedure of making the video was hard, I'm super proud of how it turned out. My superintendent mentioned the video at our all-district coming together on our showtime professional person day, as well as lots of coworkers were interested inwards seeing the video. If you're interested every bit well, I'll shipping service the video below. If you're reading this through RSS, you lot may ask to click through to view the video.
Lastly, I desire to country a HUGE cheers to the MTBoS. Thanks for all the support! I wouldn't live the instructor I am today without my online math instructor friends. :)
