17. How do you go about classroom management?
How to Answer
Classroom management is a big aspect of teaching. A plan for strong classroom management can be the make or break of a successful class. The interviewer will want to hear that you have somewhat of a plan in place to help students learn classroom routines and procedures and to invest students in norms, rules, and classroom culture. A strong teacher candidate will have thought about classroom management at length and arrive to the interview expectant of this question.

Answer Example
"I believe in co-creating classroom norms and rules, teaching and modeling classroom routines and procedures, and having a system to provide feedback to kids in regards to their academic progress and behavior. I like for the group to come up with classroom rules together so they feel included and invested in the classroom environment. I spend the first two weeks going over routines, encouraging students who catch on quickly to procedures, and focusing my attention on the little things so students learn how to function in the room. I also introduce my behavior chart and feedback system so students know what to anticipate and be held accountable for."
