"I often go above and beyond what is expected of me. Most recently, I agreed to cover for a fellow teacher who was on short-term medical leave. I worked 10 hour days for 2 weeks so that her work did not suffer any setbacks."

"I enjoy going above and beyond for my students. During my practicum, I observed some of how I could go the extra mile for my students. I could do this in the way of offering practice tests, tutoring hours and arranging study groups. The most impactful was offering office hours so students could visit me one on one or in small groups for additional help."

Display to the interviewer that you can do more than just the bare minimum when it comes to your students' success. Show that you can react appropriately when you see that your students need more from you. Instead of just stating some of the things you've done, share a recent example with relevant context that highlights your willingness to go above and beyond.

"Last week, I noticed that one of my students needed some extra tutoring. He was struggling with a particular module. I offered to help him after class to feel more confident going into the next learning module. We worked together for a couple of hours that day and could catch him up on everything. It felt good to help him and build a stronger rapport with the student."
