QUESTION 9 OF 29

Tell me about a new teaching technique that you recently learned.

This questions provides an opportunity to show off recent research into new interventions, technology, or resources for educators that you've come across. Provide the broad points of the technique, explain how you applied the technique in the classroom (if you have), and offer something that you learned from it or why you think it will be an effective technique to introduce to other teachers.

"I have recently been trying out small-group discussions in class so that all students can be heard and more onus is put on them to manage discussions. I split up the class into groups of 4 and provided each group some discussion questions. It turned out that there were some kids who were doing all the talking, and some kids who just put their heads down and took a nap. I learned that the timing is important; we had just come back from lunch and they had all this energy. Next time, I'm going to factor in the time of day to accommodate their energy levels and maybe assign roles to each group member so all students are held accountable."

During our AVID Training, I learned how to use the Socratic Seminar to teach students how to dig into their critical thinking ability to collaborate.
