Educational Technology Specialists have the difficult task of bringing different technology research and tools into the classroom setting. Being the person who bridges the gap between theory and frontline educators relies on strong communication and relationships. In asking this question, your interviewer will ideally be looking to hear that you would take the reins in this role as their next Education Technology Specialist and build trusting and long-lasting work relationships with the teachers you'd be working with closely. As you answer this question and talk about how you promote the turning of new technology into classroom practice, make sure to discuss how you would go about building a trusting relationship with the staff at this organization to ensure that the bridge you build is solid.

"I know that success as an Educational Technology Specialist requires first-hand experience and knowledge in both implementation in the classroom setting and the research and data behind the scenes with new and improved technology. If I were fortunate enough to be hired for this role, my first goal on the job would be to start to build great relationships with all of the frontline educators in your system. I would do this by being knowledgeable in my field and having an open-door policy for any teacher to approach me to discuss the future of their classroom. I would put out regular communications to the staff to let them get to know me. I would also be very transparent in my communications about what project I was working on so the staff could see the great work being done."
