Interview


My first interview was with the toddler teacher I will do my internship with. This is her second year as a teacher in a one year old classroom. She had prior experience working with children that had behavior problems.

1.     I ask her why she wanted to work with toddlers and for Early Head Start. She stated the classroom was smaller and the toddlers could focus on activities more.

2.     I ask her did she have any special needs children that were receiving services she said yes. There is one student that is going to be bilingual and is very quite. Baby Net started offering service this month. I ask the teacher if the child had a IFSP she stated yes

3.     I ask how she was going to assess him. She stated they had asked for a translator to administer the Denver 11.

4.     During the interview I ask how did they accommodate for him she said the teacher speak in Spanish and English simple command words.

 

My second interview was the Early Intervention from Baby Net. I ask how she decided this job title. She stated that she did her internship in a special needs classroom and wanted to work one-on-one with students. She stated that she could offer a better service with these services than working with students in a group setting.

1.     I ask her what her case load was. She stated 30 students a week. She has been working with this company for 6 months but came from another state.

2.     I ask could I interview her next week she said yes I could.

  4. Toddlers are a active bunch! Will you be advocating to help this particular age group? Have you thought of the other ways that the teachers can help bi-lingual children besides using outside programs?
