This question offers a great chance to show that you understand your greatest strengths. Graciously share your best asset, and explain how this asset affects your work performance.

One possible example may be your ability to connect with all types of people. Discuss how this has helped you work with students, parents, and teachers from all walks of life. If you are struggling to come up with your best asset, think about the typical praises you received in past performance reviews. You can also ask a respected colleague for their opinion.

"My colleagues would describe me as an affable person. I am easy to talk to and very approachable. I have good listening skills and can incorporate colleagues' ideas with mine. I am currently reviewing the drama curriculum and want to improve the way that activities are sequenced, of course, I am working with the Drama teacher and drawing on her expertise in this."

This is a great start, but I suggest adding a closing sentence that shows the outcomes/impact of your collaboration with the drama teacher. What has occurred as a result of this?
