Blog 14: Third Interview Preparation

What is the most important skill a preschool teacher can teach her students to best prepare them for kindergarten?


1. Who do you plan to interview?  What is this person's area of expertise?

I plan on interviewing a family friend, Bonnie Avalos, for this next interview. She holds a master's degree and has been in the field for over 20 years. Not only has she taught preschool, but kindergarten too. This helps me get better insight on my EQ.

2. Verify that you have called your interviewee to schedule an interview.  What is the date and time of the interview? 

I have scheduled this interview for Monday February 15 at around 3:00 PM. 

3. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you find research resources that would help to answer the EQ.

Besides working in a preschool and kindergarten classroom, how else might I find an answer to my EQ? What makes that justifiable? 

4. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you think about other useful activities you might do to help you answer the EQ (IC2, possible experts to talk to, etc).

How would you go about effectively teaching your students the essential skills needed for kindergarten? How do you ensure that each and every child will understand the material?

5. Phrase two open-ended questions that help you to understand your interviewee's perspective on an aspect of your EQ. 

In what ways have you seen kindergartners struggle in your years of teaching? Do these struggles affect their relationships with their classmates or their academic performance? What do you expect kindergartners to know when they enter your classroom?
