Outside of the box thinking does not happen overnight. Teachers have to work hard to change their perspective to make their classes different and interesting. Speak to how you do this when an issue arises.

"One time I thought outside of the box was when I had a student who was failing my class. They worked hard in class with their assignments, but the exams they always bombed. So, we tried something different and unorthodox. We did a verbal exam; I knew the student could communicate their learning better verbally than they could in a test format. The student did loads better and passed with ease."
