Safety is the number one responsibility of any teacher. By sharing how you keep students safe, the interviewer will know that you care about the subject, as much as they do. Consider evidence of how you have done this over the years.

"Safety has always been something I want to be diligent about. So, I have a policy within my classroom where people treat each other with respect. Rude talk is never acceptable in my class. Students who do not follow this will have consequences for their actions."
