QUESTION 1 OF 30

What was a time you failed and how did you handle it?

The interviewer wants to get an idea of something that everyone faces in their lives: failure. Speak openly and honestly about the challenges of the experience and what you learned in the process. This kind of answer will give the interviewer hope that you are malleable and ready to grow.

"During my first year of teaching, I had a major fail. I could not handle a class the first day of school. I was downhearted and hopeless. But, that night, I told myself that I was going to push through, grow as a teacher, and do my very best. This mindset has helped me along."
