16. What kind of work environment do you thrive in?
How to Answer
Since there are many different environments within education, it is best to talk about two or three of your preferred types of environment and then finish by asking the interviewer how they would best describe the environment at their specific institution. Consider what you find most appealing when it comes to a school's values and how the staff work together. Describe an ideal setting in which you would feel welcomed and supported, be challenged appropriately, and grow as an educator.

Answer Example
"I have worked in a variety of environments within education. My current role is in a classroom setting with multiple students. My previous position was a more one-on-one based environment. I was able to succeed in both environments. What I am most interested in is working alongside dedicated and supportive teammates to foster student growth and a love of learning."
