  Case: What distinguishes you from other candidates?
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!)
My care and concern for my students both in and outside of the classroom. Anyone can take a few college courses and become a teacher. And unfortunately, there are a lot of these people in the world today. I have always wanted to teach. When I am in the classroom, I teach each lesson specific for the students in the classroom. Each child learns individually, therefore teaching methods should be made individually for each student. Care and concern is not something you can learn in a college class.

Comments: Although I disagree that anyone can take "a few college courses and become a teacher", I do agree with your response. Becoming a teacher is hard work and requires more than a few classes. Whether or not that person CARES about their students is where that difference happens, and you are completely correct that those courses cannot teach you to care and concern.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. By putting the focus on your concern for your students and how much it weighs on your heart, you will stick out amongst the other candidates because you are not "bragging" about yourself. Instead, you are enlightening the interviewer of your passion and love for teaching.

Comments: I 100% agree with the care and concern. Anyone can take college classes and become a teacher, but you cannot teach care, concern and most of all passion and that will shine through and can't be faked.
