Case: What makes you an effective teacher? 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!) The big three I'd say would make an effective teacher is dedication, adaptability, and self-reflection. You need to be dedicated to working so much to help children, and that daily social interaction and the time-consuming process of creating lesson plans and grading homework is a mental drain. Having dedication can help you pull through all that. Adaptability is good because children respond differently to various types of projects, lectures, and directions. Being adaptive enough to employ various teaching strategies will help you cover all your bases. Adaptive teachers may also be good at handling ESE and ESOL students, which require patience and accommodation that not all people have. Self-reflection is also a big plus to employers because self-reflective teachers will know what they're doing wrong and what needs to be fixed. Since administration doesn't constantly monitor every teacher in the school to see how effective they are, teachers need to be able to self-correct in place of a constant moderator to tell them what's wrong. |
