  Case: What does "teamwork" mean to you? Give an example.
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In an interview, I would avoid treating this question trivial. I would define teamwork. Then discuss the advantage and disadvantage in teamwork. Teamwork is working as a team. Most sports teams have members that play certain positions. If the members do not play their positions right, it normally reflects badly on the team. This can result in the team not winning the game or advancing further. In other words, the teachers, principal, and many other members in the school system are like the players on the sports team. We all have our designated roles to play in order to advance in the school system and achieve what is needed. In the word "teamwork" work is a part of that compound word. It will take work to stay together as a team and work as a team. Players practice for their game. They study the plays that they decide on. They run the plays. We as members of school system have to do the same thing.
