Every teacher has a different way of engaging students and making content more enjoyable to digest. The interviewers want to know that you balance content with creativity when it comes to delivering a concept to your students. Consider how you make learning fun and engaging in structured - and unstructured - ways.

"Learning can be stressful and really impact a student's confidence. I like to integrate humor, lightheartedness, and some active engagement in my lessons and teaching style to make learning disarming and memorable. Sometimes, I'll act out what I'm teaching with grand gestures and emphatic speech. I often include silly examples that are relevant to youth today. When it's review time, I'll turn it into an educational game prior to each quiz and exam. In general, I've found that youth are responsive to fun and friendly competition; so, if I see that my lesson is falling flat, then I'll pause what I'm doing and have the students get up to play a quick game to get them moving and more engaged with the content."
