Show Your CBE Readiness in the Interview

Schools hiring for Geography and Business under the Competency-Based Curriculum want teachers who can move beyond chalk-and-talk. Your interview will likely probe how you design learner-centered lessons and use ICT to make content stick.

1. Bring a lesson plan sample: Prepare a one-page lesson plan for a Geography or Business topic that shows clear CBE steps: starter, group tasks, assessment. Schools love seeing concrete artifacts, not just talk.

2. Talk about ICT integration: Mention specific tools you can use, like Google Classroom, Kahoot, or simple YouTube clips. Even basic skills matter if you can explain how they boost learner engagement.

3. Know the TSC code of conduct: As a registered teacher, you should be ready to discuss professional ethics and how you handle student discipline. Review the TSC code before the interview.

4. Prepare for a demo lesson: Many schools ask for a 10-minute teaching demo. Practice a mini-lesson that includes a quick activity and a check for understanding. Keep it interactive.

5. Highlight your subject passion: For Geography, talk about current issues like climate change; for Business, discuss entrepreneurship trends. Show you follow the world beyond the textbook.

6. Ask about school culture: When given the chance, ask about the school's teaching philosophy, class sizes, and how they support teacher development. It shows you're serious about the role.

7. Polish your CV for education: List your teaching practice, any coaching or club supervision, and ICT courses. Use action verbs like 'designed', 'assessed', and 'facilitated'.

8. Follow up professionally: After the interview, send a brief thank-you email to the principal. It's a small gesture that can set you apart.
