Special Education Teacher Interview Form

Finding the right special education teacher requires more than just reviewing a resume—you need to understand their hands-on experience with different disability categories, their proficiency in developing individualized education programs, and their ability to lead a team of paraprofessionals.

This Special Education Teacher Interview Form streamlines your hiring process by combining interview scheduling with detailed pre-screening questions. Before candidates even step into the interview room, you'll know their certification status, their experience across disability categories like autism spectrum disorder and learning disabilities, and their approach to IEP development and collaboration.

Built for K-12 schools, special education departments, and educational staffing agencies, this template helps you:

• Schedule interviews efficiently with built-in availability selection
• Pre-screen candidates on critical qualifications like certification and experience levels
• Assess specialized skills including IEP writing, behavior management, and assistive technology
• Evaluate leadership capabilities for supervising paraprofessionals and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams
• Understand teaching philosophy through targeted open-ended questions

The form automatically adapts based on candidate responses, showing follow-up questions only when relevant. Once submitted, you can connect the form to your ATS or HR system using Stepper to automatically create candidate profiles, send interview confirmations, and notify your hiring team—keeping your special education recruitment running smoothly without manual data entry.

Whether you're hiring for resource room positions, self-contained classrooms, or inclusion support roles, this template ensures you're gathering the right information to make confident hiring decisions for your special education program.
