How do you define your own personal success?

"I consider my day a success if I have helped someone learn something new."

Do some thinking about what success means to you. Consider how you would determine whether or not a semester or school year was successful. Tell the interviewer how you see success and be sure to tie your answer into the success you plan to achieve in this particular position, should you be offered the role.

"I define success by my ability to reach the goals that are set out for me. On a personal level, the things I wish to achieve in my life. On a work level, the targets that are set out for me as well as the professional development that I seek. A successful classroom also means meaningful relationships were formed and learning took place."
