The interviewer wants to know how you structure your class and if you have a tried and true method for teaching material. Be honest with the interviewer as to what has worked for you and your students in the past. Share your pacing, and the teacher moves you make throughout the class. This may include the gradual release method or the 'I do, we do, you do' method, in which the teacher gradually releases ownership of the material throughout the lesson as they move from modeling to group practice to independent practice.

"I like for my class to be predictable and structured, while I also like to switch it up sometimes to keep students engaged. We typically begin class with an activity geared towards the learning objective for the day. I like for students to see how the learning is relevant to their everyday lives. I then introduce the skill or concept by direct instruction or through an engaging video. I model it several times, we practice together as a class, and then I allow students time for independent work, with the option to conference with me on an as-needed basis. We wrap up class with an exit ticket so that I can collect data on student mastery."
