I actually just did this in March. Our district had a certain way of doing it, we all got together first and made a list of questions. From that a master list was made of questions that were actually asked. My main questions were
1-what are you feelings on parent involvement and name three ways you would promote it? 2-what do you see as the role of a volunteer at a school? Don't ask questions that can be answered with a yes or no. our interview team had about 12 people on it and there were more questions than time! I felt that as the parent group leader i had to gear my questions to parent involvement/volunteering. The teachers and staff members asked questions about testing, goals, discipline, etc. think carefully because your questions can be very valuable...
As an elementary school site council member, I'm on the committee to search/interview for a new principal. I also run the school library as a teacher's aide (budget couldn't afford full-fledged librarian)and I am a parent of a 3rd grader who attends the school. I'm trying to think of interesting questions with my "three hats". So far, my questions range from "What is your standpoint on fundraising: How much is too much and how consistent should the 4 town elementary schools be?" to "How do you communicate with parents: Weekly/monthly newletter..." to "Please describe a difficult situation you had to mediate between a child/parent/teacher. Please explain how you resolved the situation." I am also asking "If there is only ONE value that you could instill in your students, what would that be?" ANY other thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated as I've never done this before! Thanks in advance! [img]smile.gif[/img]
