What are your thoughts on an arts-based education?

The most appropriate answer will depend on the values of the organization that you're applying to. Consider pressures the school district is facing and what subjects have been affected. Consider which areas have received increased funding and which have had funding taken away. It is okay to state your honest opinion, but also communicate that you understand tough decisions need to be made from time to time. As an instructional coordinator, you may be expected to get teachers onboard with top-down decisions that impact them. Use this opportunity to demonstrate how you would support the school leadership's decisions and influence others to align with it. As always, feel free to ask for more information if you need it to make a well-informed response.
