When answering this question, your answer should always boil down to meeting the needs of students. When students are not making appropriate academic gains, are uninterested in content, or require further rigor, a curriculum should be adjusted. Dig deep and find the root cause as to why you opted to change the curriculum. Most of the time, it will have to do with concerns over student performance.

"I changed the books that students were reading. I changed them because we needed to increase reading scores. I interviewed some teachers, and they told me that it was difficult to get the students to read those books because they were too old and the language was difficult. So, I decided to purchase newer books that were written using more accessible language and also effective at illustrating literary devices."

The biggest curriculum change that I implemented was having our teachers utilize station teaching in the block class schedule. This change was needed so that teacher would not stretch 50 minutes worth of lessons into a 100-minute block.
Cindy's Feedback
Good start. This question poses a good opportunity to show a number of skills that can apply to the new position. For example, what were the pros and cons of the decision? Why did you ultimately decide on the approach? How did you communicate it and get buy-in? Was the process a success? What did you learn and/or what would you do differently if faced with a similar change?
