Prepare the task
You'll need to decide whether to:
- Set up a slot on the interview day to allow them to teach part or all of a lesson, or
- Visit the teacher's current school to observe a lesson (if their current school agrees to this)
Consider:
- How many candidates you have - if you've got a larger pool, bringing candidates to teach at your own school may be the more efficient option, so you don't have to visit multiple schools
- Whether the class would be significantly impacted by the disruption to their normal teaching routine. For example, if pupils:
- Have fallen significantly behind due to lost learning during the coronavirus pandemic
- Are close to sitting their exams
- Have special educational needs, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), where they may find the change to teaching staff difficult to manage
