Infant Setting: Host Teacher Suggested Interview Questions
Based on your observation, you may have questions for your Host Teacher. However, be sure to include these in your reflective conversation:
As you think about your daily schedule, the children and families with whom you interact and the many routines and transitions that are a part of your daily life with the children:
1. What do you see as the role of transitions and routines in your program?
2. What insights can you share with me about transitions and routines from your experience that may be helpful to practitioners?
3. What’s working well in your setting regarding fostering infants’ healthy development and contributing to respectful and responsive relationships between early childhood professionals and the children through routines and transitions?
4. What would you like to improve?
