Case: What would you do if half of your class did poorly on a test?
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!)
It is important to know that if your class does poorly on a test, it is not the students' fault. You must take responsibility and reflect upon how you have taught, what your objectives were, and were they met accordingly. If the way you taught something did not work at first, you should research other ways to present the information. You can ask colleagues, use the internet, or read books to give you ideas on what you can change to deliver the lesson in a way that all your students will understand. |

Comments: This is correct. If that many students did not do well, it is best for the teacher to review the method used in teaching the subject and find another way that may use additional learning styles. It never hurts a student to go over a lesson a second time to ensure all students comprehend the material. |

Comments: I agree, if more than half of the class did poorly on a test then it is either the test itself (the way you made it) or something you did when teaching did not fully register with the students. I also agree about taking responsibility and getting help and resources so that you can become a better teacher. |

Comments: I completely agree with your point that it is not the students' fault if half of them do poorly on a test. You should use that as a sign to re-evaluate your instruction and find ways that you can better teach the material to students. |

Comments: This is a good solution. Taking a step back and seeing what went wrong may uncover how half the class did poorly on the test. Researching and asking colleagues may make a difference and hopefully uncover a new way to teach the class effectively. |
