Blog 3: Interview Preparation

1. I plan to interview Mrs. Murillo, my mentor from my summer mentorship homework. It seems like a logical choice because she is an actual algebra teacher. It is also nice to start off simple and work your way up to higher authorities.

2. I would ask about 8-12 questions. I think that might be stretching it, but I do want to get as much information as I can. These are some of the questions I might ask in addition to the 5 original questions:

• "Why are you so comfortable in your classroom?"
• "How do you grab the attention of your students with math?"
• "What does Algebra mean to you?"
• "Tell me about your teaching strategies."
• "What is your relationship with the students?"
