1.Put your qualifications on display. Whether people like to admit it or not they are impressed by paper qualifications. When you enter a doctor’s office you see behind his/her desk all the degrees, diplomas and additional courses taken in various medical fields etc. When you see this you begin having more confidence in the expertise of the doctor. I think teachers should do the same. Behind your desk have copies of your degrees, teacher’s certificates, professional courses taken etc. mounted on the wall for all to see. ( Framed, good quality copies would be fine.)
2.Never sit behind your desk.. Move your chair out from behind the desk and place it close to and in front of the parent. This sends a strong message to the one being interviewed. It says, “ I am comfortable and confident in this situation. That’s just the message your want to send.
