QUESTION 9 OF 30

Share a strength and a weakness you have.

Every teacher has strengths and weaknesses in education. An interviewer knows this, but will not judge you for it. They just want to see how you work to improve your weaknesses and use your strengths to your advantage.

"As a teacher, my weakness is organizing lessons. Over the years, I have worked with other colleagues to help organize my lessons more efficiently. It has been a great lesson for me, as a I work to hone my craft. Creativity is one of my biggest strengths, which I believe helps in my lesson plans."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

My strength is my passion and enthusiasm for the arts. Administration work is not my favorite part of teaching, and have to set reminders and maybe quickly rewrite directions so I don't forget how to do certain tasks.

Marcie's Feedback

Can you talk more about how your passion and enthusiasm for the arts have benefited your students and made you a great teacher? Really try to show the interviewer how your strengths make you the best candidate for this role. When it comes to your weakness, discuss in more detail the steps you are taking to overcome it. Include an example that shows how setting reminders and rewriting directions have improved your ability to handle administrative tasks that you don't enjoy as much. Great job!
