The next Academic Support Coordinator at this organization will be relied upon to measure and assess the academic needs of students to help determine where deficiencies exist. This question gives you the chance to prove to your interviewer that you fully understand the importance of performing needs assessments. As you talk about how assessing the overall student's needs determines the path you take in coordinating a custom education path for them, don't hesitate to talk about your experience using different academic assessments in your past work.

"This question dives into the main purpose of an Academic Support Coordinator because our job is to help fill the learning and educational gaps that individual students have. To fill these gaps, we need an objective way to measure where students are and determine where they need to be. The standard for measuring the academic needs of students is assessments in the form of tests, quizzes, or other knowledge-based assignments. These provide an excellent baseline for most subjects and courses. I'm also a believer that formative assessments are important in the overall measurement of student success, and I would rely on this information from the professors that I would be supporting."
