About the store
I am entering my 7th year of teaching special education this year. During this time, I have taught several different subjects such as: English 1-4, STAAR test prep, Content Mastery, Algebra I, Algebraic Reasoning, Social Emotional Learning, and Social Skills.
I am currently a behavior teacher for the special education department and as a result, I have excellent data taking skills! I love making materials for teachers to use to differentiate instruction to students at various levels with various needs! If you are needing something specific, please let me know.

Student Sample Interview Questions
This can be used to prepare for student mock interviews. I usually teach the power point (in my shop!!), then give students these questions after to independently answer.

If they need to use their completed (and teacher reviewed) answers during their mock interview / interview practice, that is even better!
