Interview questions & answers for PGT Chemistry
Common questions Indian schools ask for PGT Chemistry roles in Dehradun (ICSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. 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 ICSE learning outcomes.
2. How well do I need to know the ICSE syllabus?
Panels will probe unit-level familiarity. Skim the current ICSE scheme of work for your subject and grade, memorise two chapter names you'd be strongest teaching, and be ready to walk through the assessment pattern (weightings, project component, exam duration).
3. Will I need to submit a sample lesson plan?
Assume yes — most ICSE schools ask for one alongside the demo. Structure it as: objective → prior knowledge check → input (10 min) → guided practice → independent task → plenary. Include differentiation notes and one assessment prompt.
4. 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 PGT Chemistry brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why Doon Cambridge School in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
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.
6. What questions should I ask at the end?
Ask three: one about the team (department size, coordinator style), one about growth (PD budget, appraisal cadence), and one about the school (a specific programme). Avoid opening with leave/salary questions unless the panel invites them.
