  • 8. When you come across a school policy that you do not necessarily agree with, what do you do?

      How to Answer

      There is always a moment in our jobs when we come across decisions or policy with which we may not agree. What is your reaction in such situations? Take an example of a situation where you had a disagreement regarding some school policy and how you reacted in that situation. Did you argue or did you act wisely in that particular case? What was the result? Try to avoid exhibiting any negative expression.

      "I am newer to the education industry so, at this time, I would not feel like I have the expertise to bring up my concerns about the policy. If I do have concerns, I will have a one on one conversation with my supervisor."

      "Over my years as an attendance clerk, I have never come across a policy that I disagreed with enough to react to it. The school board is very thoughtful when creating policy and I fully trust they are putting the student's interest first."
