What are the do's and don'ts when answering this question? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I believe the fundamental goal of teaching is to foster learning. Learning takes place in many different circumstances and contexts. Although everyone is capable of learning, a student's desire to learn is a vital pre-condition to effectively mastering new concepts and skills. Humans have multiple learning styles: some learn best in lecture atmospheres, some are motivated by discussion, and others absorb best when they read and reflect on what they have read. The classroom setting can encourage or inhibit learning depending on the dominant learning style of each student. Accommodating different learning styles creates an atmosphere that is conducive to learning. Students take many of their learning habits from the instructor. If the instructor doesn't show interest in the subject and a passion for learning, students are less likely to put forth the effort to learn in that class. An instructor must convince students of his or her knowledge and expertise before they will show a willingness to learn.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Rated On: April 26, 2013 6:53 pm Rated By: RumuVa                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I believe this answer is off track and is not relevant to the question asked.Nowhere does your answer tell me about you.

I think they are looking for a unique answer when asking this question. I think the more original your answer is, would be the most effective way of responding. You go into an interview wanting the to remember you. Your trying to make yourself stand out from everyone else.

As a teacher, schools want to see that you can be yourself and explain who you are without being too fake about it for impressions.

This is very structured and textbook based answer. You need to seem both profession but also personable.
