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!) Prior to the interview, I would outline my discipline policy and philosophy to present to them. In addition to that I would let them know that I have a proactive mindset, that I engage in active monitoring of the students to help minimize the amount of issues that come up. I feel that a it should began with a non-verbal warning, if it continues, depending on the behavaior I would either choose to flag it and handle at a more appropriate time or have a private discussion with the student at that time. One thing I would avoid would be yelling and comparing students to each other.
