1. I was left in the classroom with one of the classroom teachers. For working interviews, I don't count towards ratio.
2.They were supposed to come back for me (or at least call me) after an hour or so to do a follow-up interview. This way, they can get my take on how I felt the interview went.
3. Typically, the directors, etc observe the working interviews on the cameras and combine that with a follow-up interview from the teacher(s) in the classroom.
