Case: What does "teamwork" mean to you? Give an example.
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!)
Teamwork means that teachers work collaboratively to best meet the needs of the students. It does not mean that you rely on other people to do your work for you, or that you are not capable of independently managing your classroom. Teamwork is required in order for a school staff to function like a well oiled machine. When a staff has the backing of the administration, and the positive support of their co-workers, the school is a much more positive and effective environment. As will all interview questions, I believe it is more appropriate to focus on the positives and talk about specific samples of teamwork. I can think of plenty of non-examples that I have seen, but it would not be appropriate or beneficial to rip apart other teachers in an interview. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. Teamwork is a big part of teaching and you will not be successful with your teaching career if you don't know how to work with others.

Comments: Yes, focus on the positive. If you will rip up another teacher in an interview, the interviewer might think you will do it in the future to other staff members. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. I feel that as a teacher, one must be able to be a team player, and that it should be known to the interviewer that you can collaborate and work well with other's. It is a great trait to have especially in teachers. |
