"I take my work home with me whenever it is necessary. In some teaching positions I have held, I work from home nearly every day. In other roles, such as my current position, I work from home just a couple of times per month. I don't mind having to work from home as long as I still make the time to invest in myself so that I do not feel burnt out."

"I fully expect, as a new teacher, that I will take my work home regularly. I understand it is par for the course when building a curriculum as a new teacher. But I hope to establish a good balance as soon as I can."

The majority of teachers will work overtime hours or take work home with them on occasion. Talk to the interviewer about how frequently you take your work home. Be honest and straightforward, but share how you do your best to make the most of your time at work. Schools want to hire people who will work hard, but they do not want people who will become easily overwhelmed and burnt out. Take this opportunity to also share how you strive for work and life balance.

"I make sure to utilize my work hours efficiently, so the only time that I take my work home is when there is a stringent marking deadline. I would say that, overall, I take my work home maybe once per week, but I try to keep my work at work. If I'm really pressed for time, I'll arrive at school early to get some work done before students arrive."
