Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.
As a Distance Learning Specialist in this role, you will have the opportunity to work with students and families that come from different backgrounds and your interview will be looking to hear that you will be able to do this effectively. If you have had direct experience with students from culturally diverse backgrounds, talk about an example that displays your cultural sensitivity. You may want to use a story that highlights how you could adapt to the student's particular needs. If you haven't had any direct experience working with people from a diverse range of cultures, you can give the interviewer confidence by mentioning examples of your ability to be fair and consistent and sensitive. Be ready and willing to share any resources you use to continue to develop as an educator and ensure the content you teach is culturally responsive.

"I have completed diversity training, and I try to be fair and consistent in the way I treat everyone. Regardless of anyone's culture or ability, children generally respond to a teacher who listens carefully and adapts to their specific needs. I treat everyone as a unique individual and want everyone to feel as if they belong. I also love to include and celebrate different cultures, languages, and abilities in the children that I work with. In this role, I am cognizant of the fact that each student and their family will have different levels of knowledge on the technology they will be using as distance learners, and to the best of my ability I will take all cultural differences in the experience with the systems to mind when working with individuals."
