QUESTION 20 OF 35

How do you like to encourage ideas in others?

Encouragement of others is a great skill to possess. Talk to the interviewer about your ability to encourage creative ideas in your team members. This could look like offering a weekly spotlight to share the great work others are doing daily or providing space to 'shout out' people going above and beyond. Whatever it is, the best workplaces offer encouragement and gratitude to see forward momentum from employees.

"I like to encourage other people to be creative in their thinking and present ideas to their classrooms, no matter how off the wall they may seem. Some of our most successful teachers are confident in their ability to bring forward their unique ideas. I encourage participation through an open door policy and strong praise for those who show initiative."

Anonymous Answer

I encourage ideas in others by supporting critical thinking skills and utilizing group projects and discussions. This technique will expand my students' thinking and demonstrate that there are many ways to think about and solve a problem.

Marcie's Feedback

Nice! Supporting critical thinking skills and assigning group projects are both great ways to encourage your students to come up with new ideas. Is there an example you can discuss of a time when a student of yours came up with an original idea after you supported them in this way?
