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!) I would not assume that all students are reading on grade level. If given, I would find out the Lexile scores of the students. I will review material via power point and visuals to make sure of clarity and understanding. I will use manipulatives for reinforcement. In summarizing and reviewing details of the lesson, I will use thinking maps. I will encourage the students to use thinking maps to view the information. This will help them by seeing how smaller components of the lesson result in a bigger picture. Students will also be allowed to work in groups of two or three where a student reads a passage and the others discuss what was said.
