    Hey guys, my partner is going for an interview for a job as a secondary school resource teacher through the VEC shortly. I was wondering if anyone here has gone through something similar and might have some advice and words of wisdom for me, as she is unsure of what to expect in terms of the process, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

    Read up on the education act
    know the details of any relevent white papers

    how will deal with unruly children?
    how will you deal with unmotivated children?

    i assume your partner has experience in special needs or has done the dip in special needs education

    hope it goes well

    Even if you're only going to be based in one centre, it's no harm show you know what the VEC does (and some of them do lots). Prison education, deaf education, refugee supports, traveller education, Youthreach, community training workshops, educational psychological services, curriculum development services, third level courses, educational innovation in general - find out about 'your' VEC. Candidates often have strange notions about VECs and their clientele and VEC boards love getting people who have a clue what they are about. For the general run of the interview they tend, in the CDVEC at least, to use the application form as their guide.
