Interview questions & answers for HOD English
Common questions Indian schools ask for HOD English roles in Krishna (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. Walk me through your discipline framework.
Start with school-wide expectations (positive, visible, consistent), a tiered response ladder, a documented referral path, and a restorative element. Close with how you engage parents proactively so escalations don't come as a surprise.
2. How do you differentiate for mixed-ability classrooms?
Give a concrete example — tiered worksheets, flexible groupings, scaffolded reading. Reference formative assessment (exit tickets, mini-whiteboards) as how you decide which students need what, and how you record progress against CBSE learning outcomes.
3. Tell me about yourself — how should I frame my self-introduction?
Keep it 60-90 seconds: start with your name and current role, then two or three highlights that map to the HOD English brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why Don Bosco School, Don Bosco School in particular.

5. How do you handle classroom discipline?
Lead with prevention: clear routines, seating design, and engagement pacing. Follow with a de-escalation sequence (private redirect → restorative conversation → parent loop-in) and mention that you document incidents. Schools want a framework, not a "punish" answer.

Pick one or two tools you actually use (Google Classroom, Kahoot, Nearpod, a subject-specific simulator) and tie them to a learning outcome, not novelty. If Don Bosco School, Don Bosco School runs a specific LMS, mention you'd upskill on it in the first month.
