  Case: What are your thoughts about student and teacher accountability?
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!)
Things to avoid: Claiming that what the state and local school district believes is non-sense. Do not argue strongly against what is required.

Things to stress: I will do the best I possibly can to help the students grow as a learner and as an individual. I will hold myself accountable, and will expect my students to do so as well.

How I would respond: I would mention the fact that I feel the accountability system in place has its pros and cons, however, I will follow the guidelines expected, and will do my best to meet the expectations provided.
