One of the new tools for teachers who are job hunting, I'm told, is a video
tape of them in the classroom. The principal, or others on the hiring team,
can watch the tape and get an idea of how the teacher is in the classroom.
The tape is, of course, of the teaching candidate at their best, but it
still gives an idea of what they are capable of. It is also used as a
critiquing tool so that the candidate can see where they were or weren't
effective. Personally, I like it.////

In the UK, job interviews for teachers actually consist of the schools
senior staff watching the applicant teach a relevant lesson to the
children they are likely to teach. This is as well as several interviews
on the day with different staff.

Scary stuff.
