QUESTION 5 OF 30
What have you learned in the process of teaching a sensitive topic?
Biology has its sensitive moments where educators teach something that can be unnerving. An interviewer wants to see your professionalism in these situations. Share what you have learned and how your handled the same topic differently another time.
"I was first teaching about dissection a decade ago. When I was bringing up the anatomy of a frog, some students thought they would have some fun with the subject matter. The next year, before we dissected something, we talked first about the maturity of this project and how every student needed to be on their best behavior. If not, they would not be a part of this special occasion. It was safe to say that things were better the second time around."
