QUESTION 14 OF 30

What do you like to do when you are not teaching?

By giving a background of yourself, you can shine a light on who you are as a person and how you can fit into this school's community. Speak about something wholesome that brings your life value. The interviewer wants to see that you have other interests so you do not get burned out.

"When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my family. I have a wife and two young children. There is nothing better than spending evenings and weekends with them. Recently, we have been taking a lot of walks and hiking around the lake nearby. It is moments like this that give my life fulfillment."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

When I am not teaching, I love being active. Whether I am hiking, running, or playing basketball, my body needs to be in tip-top shape for teaching.

Shane's Feedback

Teachers often forget to think about their own health when they are thinking about their students all the time. Never forget this. Great advice you are giving.
