      Entry Level Example

      "I would become more mindful of getting to know the students and teachers personally. I tend to dive into work so deep that I could better remind myself that some play at work is alright, too."

      Answer Example

      "I would make myself a super-speed reader to breeze through my emails quicker each day, giving me more time to interact with my students and teachers."

      Experienced Example

      "I would facilitate more harmony between the teachers. We see each other for many hours a day, but maybe we don't even know the most basic things about each other. I'd organize get-togethers, parties, or even workshops to get teachers more involved in each others' lives. These efforts would create a stronger workplace support system."
