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!) One thing that I would make sure to stress is that being a team player means thinking of others before yourself. I would also be sure to mention that being a team player involves the act of sacrificing one's own praise and successes so the entire team receives the praise and recognition as every one contributes in some way to the "team".
