The final interview is a group-teach interview and then an in-person one-on-one interview. For the teaching assignment, you are given 5 minutes to teach a mini-lesson to the other applicants in the room. This interview ends with a role-play scenario that you are given the day of the interview and then a one-on-one.
Scenario (summarized): You plan to take your students to a play, but the principal opposes allowing the budget to be used for students to miss school. What do you do?
The most difficult part of the one-on-one interview was the role-playing scenario. The goal of the scenario is for you to demonstrate your communication abilities and your ability to foresee potential difficulties.

Describe how you would approach a principle who made a decision that you felt was not in the best interest of your students
