  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!)
I believe that the most important factor when answering this issue is focusing on the students rather than yourself or others. Putting others down is not something anyone should participate in. Focusing on the success for students, and how you will raise achievement is what I look for rather than the best resume or the one who can make themselves look the "best."

Comments: This solution promotes focus on student achievement, which is good, but I think how you will be a good teacher is also important. Sharing your skills and background is important too.
