Case: What professional development topics interest you?
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 would try to avoid the "world peace" cookie-cutter answer and be honest with the principal. However, I would also be aware of the place I am interviewing. If it is a very low-income area with no resources, the push for a lot of technology during the interview might not be the best idea. Asking for second language instruction is a wonderful idea if you are in a diverse idea, but, if you are in a homogenous, all white area, it might not be the most efficient way to spend professional development time. I am in a school with a 67% Latino population, so I would love WIDA instruction of Spanish help. |

Comments: This solution is the most useful because it encourages interviewees to provide honest and detailed answers.
It is not the best practice to give the cookie cutter answers because your admin team will be under the impression that you cannot provide innovative teaching methods or present new ideas to benefit student learning abilities. |
