Students absorb information in a number of ways, so your interviewers are looking for whether or not you accommodate for varying learning styles in your classroom environment, lesson plans, and instruction. There are many 'learning styles' - some of the most well-known include: visual, aural, verbal, and kinesthetic.
Pro tip: make your response personal by touching on your own learning style and how it might vary by environment.

"I find that my own learning style changes based on my environment and what I might be learning. I can tell when I have to work harder to absorb information if an incompatible teaching style is employed, and that's just for me. When I think of the number of students in my classroom, I remember how many different learning styles are likely in the room. I try to introduce a blend of techniques in my teaching when covering each concept. I might not be able to reach all of them in one day, so I'll integrate it into the next day. For example, I might deliver standard verbal instruction paired with some visuals, allow students to complete some sort of physical activity with manipulatives, encourage independent reading, and review with a song or video that covers the content."
