Ace Your Teacher Interview: 149 Fantastic Answers

Book Preface

This book benefitted enormously from the contributions, deliberations, suggestions, and input of numerous individuals. Their professional assistance made this a far better resource and a more engaging tome than I could have written on my own. I am eternally grateful to old friends and newfound acquaintances for their advice and direction, counsel, and wisdom.

First, my students at York College of Pennsylvania deserve a thunderous standing ovation and a plethora of “high fives.” They have suffered and endured, shared and suggested—with heaping measures of good humor and positive dedication. That the teaching profession will be enhanced by their service is a given; that this book has been strengthened by their ideas and perspectives is equally significant. They are the crème de la crème of educators, and it is my honor and pleasure to work with them every day and every semester.

To all the principals and administrators who invited me into their offices and their schools over the years, I extend a warm and gracious “Thank you.” I was privileged and honored to communicate with an eclectic array of sincere, committed, and insightful individuals from a wide range of educational institutions throughout the United States and Canada. Each provided me with invaluable tips, successful procedures, and practical insights; they allowed me to pick their brains (often when they least expected it) and view the realities and dynamics of well-executed, thoughtful interviews.
