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 think that they purpose of this question is for the employer to see how flexible you are with your instruction. Flexibility in lesson planning is very important when teaching, so make sure they know that you would be willing to postpone moving on to the next unit until students demonstrated mastery of the current material. In interviews it is important to use specific 'buzz words', so the buzz words for this question would be 'adapting instruction' and 'flexibility in lesson planning.'
