With this question, you have a real opportunity to provide your interviewers with an unexpected response. While courses directly pertaining to education and youth development are certainly safe bets, you'll want to consider a less conventional response that allows you to share a story about personal growth or a learning experience that your own students might relate to. The interviewers aren't looking explicitly for what course taught you the most techniques on a certain subject, they are more interested in what that course taught you beyond the content alone.

"The most useful college course I took was Art History. It was the first time I experienced struggle in a class and really had to work hard to do well. From that experience, I taught myself new ways of learning and absorbing information, and I developed a greater appreciation and understanding of students struggling to advance in their own learning. As a teacher, I always remind myself of how I felt in that class and how important it was for me to have a professor that continued to push me forward."
