Interview questions worth rehearsing

With the thing the interviewer is actually listening for

Walk me through how you write and manage an IEP from evaluation to annual review.

Show command of the process: assessment data, measurable goals, service minutes, progress reporting, and meeting timelines. Compliance fluency is essential.

How do you collect and use progress monitoring data?

Describe a simple, sustainable system tied to IEP goals, and give an example where data led you to change an intervention.

Describe a time you de-escalated a student in crisis.

Emphasize safety, calm voice, space, and following the behavior plan, then the restorative conversation afterward. Avoid dramatizing the incident.

How do you make co-teaching work with a general education teacher?

Talk about shared planning time, defining both teachers' roles per lesson, and presenting as equals to students. Name a model like station teaching.

How do you handle a disagreement with a parent during an IEP meeting?

Show that you validate the concern, return to data, and know when to pause the meeting or involve the team lead. Parents are partners, not opponents.

What experience do you have with assistive technology and accommodations?

Give real examples, such as text-to-speech, AAC devices, or modified assessments, and how you check accommodations are actually delivered in class.

How do you protect your own sustainability in a high-paperwork, high-emotion role?

Answer honestly: systems for paperwork, boundaries, and collegial support. Schools ask because retention in special education is hard.

05

Resume tips that move the needle

For special education teachers specifically — generic advice costs you here

01

03

Name the interventions and assessments you have used, such as Wilson Reading, TouchMath, or FastBridge progress monitoring.

04

Include crisis training credentials like CPI or Safety-Care, which many districts require on day one.

05

Highlight collaboration: co-teaching models, paraprofessional supervision, and related-service coordination.
