The interviewer wants to get a feel for an accomplishment that you feel proud of. Even if it was listed on your resume, now is a great time to reiterate something that you feel proud of, either in your academic or professional life. Share an appropriate amount of context so the interviewer can grasp the importance of your accomplishment and explain how you went about achieving whatever it was. Share the concrete steps you took to achieve your goal and what you've learned from the experience.

"I'm really proud of my students improving their math scores from a 76% class average to an 85%. I supported students in this by integrating math more deeply into the entire curriculum. As a class, we read books where there was room to supplement math into the conversation. For example, I used 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' as a fun way to teach math skills required in business. My students felt a real-world connection to their learning, but it was also fun for them to interact with the story as we read it. It felt good both personally and professionally that I could make this connection for them. It was a boost to my confidence and taught me to look for more opportunities to use this strategy."
