Informal Screening of Learners

By Pat Hatt

Informal screening depends on good interview skills.

What are we looking for?…
… A discrepancy!

Why is an intelligent person consistently not succeeding?

Interview Questions (A discussion with the learner):

Name:
Date:
Address:
School History:

Additional Questions for Discussion:

What are the learner’s family responsibilities?

What is the learner’s work history?

Does the learner like his or her work? If no, why not?

What does the learner think?

Watch for…

“Normal” life, living, working responses to questions

VS

Unexplained failure to succeed at school and work
