Some of the interviewers asked "situational" questions.   For example, "You know that a colleague has been talking behind your back about what he or she sees as an ineffective teaching method. What would you do?"
OR
"A student is consistently late with assignments. How do you handle the situation?"

And, the final and probably most important question:
What questions do you have?

I hope these help any teachers getting ready for an interview, whether it's your first time or 15th time! Good Luck!
