"I am used to working all hours since I have just completed my university degree. Rest assured, I am more than willing to take any work home with me. I suspect this will be quite often as I begin my career, build my curriculum, and get to know my new students' needs."

"I take my work home with me whenever it is necessary. Some teaching positions I have held, I work from home nearly every day. Other roles, such as my current position, I work from home just a couple of times per month."

The majority of teachers will work overtime hours or take work home with them on occasion. Talk to the interviewer about how frequently to take your work home.

"I make sure to utilize my work hours very efficiently, so the only time that I take my work home is when there is an extremely stringent marking deadline or an issue in the classroom that needs attention. I would say that, overall, I take my work home maybe twice per month. It's all about being diligent with your time in school!"

I take work home with me every weekend so that I am prepared for the next school week. I often stay after school to complete tasks, change out my centers, complete assessments, and clean my room.
