Two connected parts

Use the toolkit before and after you receive an interview.

The two parts work together. Begin with school and district research, then return when you receive an interview invitation to turn that research into focused preparation and practice.

Part 1

Research a school and prepare your evidence

Investigate a realistic school or district, leadership, mission, programs, public data, and a representative job posting. Connect what you learn to your teaching experience, possible contributions, committee questions, and model-lesson planning.
