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 highlight all of my professional development courses I have been a part of. For instance, I worked for my Gifted Endorsement, am currently obtaining my Master's Degree, and I have attended many other types of conferences and professional development learning. I think principals are always impressed when you show a strong initiative to becoming a better educator. The fact that I am so focused on improving myself shows how I always want to be better for my students.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think highlighting that you are continuing education is an awesome way to distinguish yourself from other candidates.
