I am happy to oblige if you have students interested in conducting an interview. The more prepared we are for an interview, the better. Some student interviews I have conducted include phone calls, videoconferencing calls, Skype, emails, and personal snail mail. I am happy to work with the student(s), at no charge, in any way possible to help them complete their assignment.
Preparation is the key.
1. Please make sure the student is interested in the interview.
2. Please ensure the student has the parent's support in the interview. I have had phone interviews where the parents had no idea it was a long-distance phone call, and the students found themselves in trouble at home. )Before cell phones.
3. Ensure the teacher knows about the interview and will help guide the student.
Please don't hesitate to contact me in advance at [email protected].
1. The student needs to email me and set up an interview time and date. Please make sure the student knows what time zone they are located. I am on the Eastern Seaboard in Virginia, and I am in the Eastern time zone.
2. I will need an emailed list of interview questions at least three days before the scheduled interview. Also included in the list is the name of the student, the name and location of the school, and the name of the teacher and class.
Phone Interview:
1. I will share my cell phone number with the student.
2. I will wait for the student to call me at the appointed time.
Email Interview:
1. I need to be alerted when the email questions will be available, and I will respond within 24 hours, as long as the interview is scheduled.
Videoconferencing or Skype Interview:
1. This makes for an easy International connection for an interview.
2. please invite me from your remote location when the interview is scheduled.
Blog Interview:
1. I have a blog on this website that we can connect from. Your school tech. person can best tell you that information. (Sometimes administrative ports, firewalls, or filters need to be changed to access your school. This is a simple procedure, but it is something that you may need to complete before your students can connect.
2. I can visit your school blog, but I will need the URL address, the blog location, and any necessary password or user ID.
Snail Mail Interview:
1. All the above procedures concerning time and schedule must be arranged beforehand.
After the interview is scheduled, I will send the student my office address in Virginia, and they can mail the questions to that location. (The scheduling is important because I am often on a book tour or research trip and can be out of state for months.)
