QUESTION 18 OF 30

What has been the most challenging thing about teaching for you so far?

When you plan for this answer, avoid pulling yourself into a response that might indicate a lack of education or experience, such as challenges with behavior management or keeping up with the curriculum. Instead, think to an honest answer for you that can be relatable for a teacher or interviewer of any experience level.

"The most challenging part of teaching for me so far has been the last day of school. The end of the year is always busy with finishing projects and final exams, and all of the emotions are often left to be processed on the last day. At that point, I feel so comfortable with my classroom and connected to my kids, and I have to say goodbye! Of course, I'm so proud of my students and the future ahead, though I'm always sad to see them go."
