High School Teachers

It is better to be over-prepared than under-prepared. I had several years of experience teaching before I interviewed with Harrisburg so I could talk about successful lessons that I had done in the past and the not so successful lessons I had done in the past and how I learned from them. I also b...

The more organized you are, the better. I would come in before school to make sure everything I needed for the day was already printed or ready to go. I also had ideas of things I could use to fill time if lessons did not take as long as anticipated. Sometimes we would complete specific lessons t...

Communication is an important part of teaching because you need to know how to address administration, faculty and staff, students, and parents. Communicating with parents can be tricky because you want to be truthful and respectful of them and their students. You do not want to seem like you are...

You wear your suit and tie to work everyday, and usually go into work early to ensure you are prepared for your first lesson.

There's no simple way to 'prepare' for an interview, as you would any other job. It's mostly based off evaluation. Typically (and this process could have changed since I went through) you will take a 'Seminary Prep' course from the Institute, and then you will teach a class for a week to two week...

The day is very busy. You will likely teach 5 of the 7 blocks during the day, with one period off for your prep and another "duty" such as study hall or lunch duty. Between classes, you are expected to be outside your classroom during the passing period to greet students and monitor the hallways....

Have your resume ready, show that you've had some kind (any kind) of experience in the world of education, even if it is just tutoring. One of the main things they look for in new teachers is, "can I work with this person?" Admin wants to know you are adaptable, a team player, willing to accept f...

A theoretic schedule might be:Make copies (although it is better to not wait until the morning of, in case of printer breaks)Teach your classes (of course this is a gross simplification. Each class has its own personality and dynamic. Personally, I think this is the best part of the job.)Tutor, g...

While interviewing, share how you have taken the initiative before or other leadership roles. If you’ve been part of a campus ministry team, run a fundraising event, or lead a student group, these will be important experiences to highlight. Talk about your social life, how you get along with othe...

The specialty programs range from Biotechnology, to Forensics, to Foreign Languages, to Nursing.Also, the students in PWC are ve...

You need patience and you need to be flexible. Things will come up, usually last minute. Things will be brought to your attention at the most inopportune times. Mostly importantly, you can't take things personally. It's a great feeling when we have students who we can see grow and develop into su...

Every corps member has such a different experience. For me, it was: wake up at 5:45 (sometimes in the dark). Get ready and drive ten minutes to my school. Prep for my lessons and then greet the first students to arrive at 7 a.m. Teach six classes hour-long back to back with one 45 minute planning...

What is the range of subjects taught?

I made sure I had a few lesson plans. I brought a few sample projects that I assigned to my classes and the lesson plans to go along with them. I made sure that I was familiar with the schools demographics. I would strongly suggest developing a plan that details what a typical day looks like in y...
