El día de la entrevista
La entrevista en Madrid llegó. Tras una semana decidiendo qué ropa sería la más adecuada para parecer seria a la misma vez que mostrara mi personalidad, escogiendo respuestas para todas esas preguntas que se pueden encontrar en Internet (más abajo os escribo una relación de las más comunes), y por supuesto, informándome muy bien del estado por el que iba a hacer la entrevista: North Carolina.
Llegamos al hotel y nos reunieron a todos en una gran sala en la que los responsables del programa de profesores visitantes del Ministerio nos aclararon dudas sobre el mismo. A las 9:00 de la mañana comenzaron a citarnos en las habitaciones del hotel para las entrevistas.
Recuerdo el momento de subir en el ascensor y sentarme en una silla al lado de la puerta del dormitorio. Observaba al resto de compañeros, todos con cara de nerviosismo pues teníamos que ser capaces de trasmitir en poco tiempo todo lo que llevábamos preparado. Y con la boca totalmente seca entré a la entrevista.
Las responsables de las entrevistas para el estado de North Carolina eran de la empresa de Participate, la cual se encarga de contratar profesores para el estado. Me hicieron muchísimas preguntas sobre todo se centraron en supuestos (parecidos a los que aparecen en las oposiciones de maestros). Quieren saber principalmente cómo diriges el aula (classroom management), la relación con los padres y el trabajo en equipo con los compañeros de grado.
Una vez terminada la entrevista volví a la sala del comienzo y allí esperé unas dos horas hasta que a nos llamaron a otro compañero y a mi para volver a subir a la habitación. Allí, las mismas encargadas de las entrevistas nos dijeron que nos habían seleccionado para irnos a ese estado. Nos hablaron de todo el proceso, de cuáles eran los siguientes pasos y de los documentos que teníamos que enviar.
Y cuando crees que ya todos los nervios han acabado, te das cuenta de que la aventura sólo acaba de comenzar...

ENTREVISTA PROFESORES VISITANTES
EEUU
Consideraciones previas: ¿Qué se espera del profesor visitante en
EEUU?
1. Ética de trabajo, cultura de esfuerzo
Tanto la intensidad en sus tareas docentes como la carga horaria en la escuela norteamericana serán
muy exigentes, pudiendo llegar a resultar abrumadoras durante los primeros meses, en los que se
pondrá a prueba su capacidad de resistencia y de trabajo. Sin embargo, gradualmente verá ese
esfuerzo sobradamente recompensado una vez superada esta fase inicial.
2. Adaptabilidad
Trasladarse a un nuevo país para tener una nueva experiencia profesional, personal y familiar dice
mucho en favor de la inquietud del docente que abandona su entorno para embarcarse en nuevas
experiencias. Es imprescindible tener una actitud abierta y flexible, sin ideas preconcebidas
huyendo de establecer comparaciones constantes con España. Debemos cambiar el chip y poner
todo de nuestra parte para integrarnos en una cultura, en un entorno educativo totalmente diferente
al de nuestro país de origen.
3. Actitud constructiva y positiva
Una actitud positiva y abierta es crucial para afrontar el reto que representa trabajar en un contexto
nuevo en el que se valora especialmente el pensamiento positivo y constructivo. Dicha actitud
implica saber escuchar, saber ponerse en el lugar de los demás, estar dispuesto a aprender y a
cambiar, incorporando las experiencias y el bagaje educativos previos, pero sin querer imponerlos
en el nuevo contexto. Esta actitud constructiva debe hacernos conscientes de nuestras limitaciones.
4. Colaboración y comunidad
El trato humano con los alumnos, compañeros, padres, y administradores es el componente más
importante del trabajo diario. El sistema educativo estadounidense prioriza el desarrollo de las
destrezas sociales, destrezas que los docentes debemos esforzarnos en desarrollar también con todos
los miembros de la comunidad educativa.
5. Compromiso individual
Vamos a establecer una relación contractual con una administración educativa estadounidense, por
tanto, debemos hacer gala desde el primer momento de la profesionalidad y responsabilidad que se
espera de nosotros en el cumplimiento de nuestras obligaciones laborales.
6. Compromiso colectivo y carácter representativo del PROFESOR VISITANTE:
embajadores culturales
Los profesores visitantes formamos parte de un colectivo de docentes que representa a nuestro país.
Por tanto, si desarrollamos nuestra labor docente de forma satisfactoria, como ocurre en más del
90% de los casos, o si nuestra labor no resulta tan positiva representamos a un colectivo y a la
imagen de un país que puede verse beneficiada y, en algunos casos excepcionales, perjudicada.
ABOUT ME
1. Tell us about yourself:
2. Describe your discipline philosophy
Firstly I defer to school’s discipline guidelines. I use positive reinforcement to achieve stability in
