Case: Physical Appearance
You are interviewing for a 6th grade math position, and your first task is to describe your classroom's physical appearance. What is the purpose of this question, and how would you answer?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would imagine that your employer wants to know how you plan on running your classroom and if you are going to have the key components they are looking for. If you say that you would have the desks organized in groups, the interviewer will know that you like cooperative learning, this could be a plus. You might also mention that the desks would be moved into 'testing positions' or rows when the students are completing an assessment. You could also mention that you would have a calendar of assignments/homework, and a bulletin board for your learning goals. |

Comments: I think that your future employer wants to know that you have a plan of action, and that if you can say how your physical appearance of the classroom can effect the everyday interaction of the classroom. They also might want to see how much effort or thought that you have already put into how you would like your room to look, and see how far ahead you plan. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. Pointing out details such as how and why you lay out the room in a specific way shows to the school that you have a well-thought-out game plan. |
