Blog 6: Second Interview Preparation

The purpose of this second interview is to justify your mentor as an expert in the field. Thus, you will be asking them at least 5 questions about their background and/or the background of the organization or company where they work. 

1. Who is your mentor and where do they work?

My mentor, Mary Peterson, is an educator who teaches both second and third grade. She works at Lark Ellen Elementary school in Covina. 

2. What five questions (a-e) will you ask them about their background? 

a) Where did you attend college/university and what were your reasons behind your choice of major?
b) How did you begin your career path to elementary school teaching and is it different to how others (previous teachers, colleagues, etc) begin? 
c) What are some pros and cons when working in early childhood education?
d) Based on your own experiences, what have been some challenges you've had to face as a public educator? Are there any current obstacles?
e) Could you name and describe skill-sets that would prove to be beneficial when working in this field?
