This question provides an opportunity to show your passion for the role and why you think you're a good fit. Research the school's mission and values and illustrate how your values align with theirs. If there are negative reasons that compelled you to move away from being a teacher, focus instead on a positive reason that drew you towards being an instructional coordinator. Don't focus on the sinking ship, focus on the greener pastures.

Once I learned about the instructional coordinator position, I knew that that's what I wanted to do because of how much more of an impact I could make on broader decisions that affect the entire school community.

As a teacher, I am passionate about ensuring that students reach their full potential to achieve academic success. However, I realize that my reach only extends to the students in my classroom and teachers in my schools. For this reason, I want to provide the same research-based targeted support for teachers in the district on a larger scale to increase teacher effectiveness to improve student achievement.
