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!) The answer to this question lies within an old Andrew Carnegie quote: "People do not care how much you know, until they know how much you care." The key to creating a safe environment, or positive learning environment, is establishing a rapport with students and making emotional connections with each one. Set yourself apart, by supporting your stance by referencing credible sources promoting this philosophy.
