"During my practicum, I showed that I could be a leader by approaching the teacher whom I was assisting, with some suggestions on classroom engagement. We made a plan together to help the student's to better focus, by rearranging the seating plan and making more time for physical movement. I think she appreciated the input that I had, despite just being in a practicum placement."

"I show leadership on a daily basis by guiding my students to self-lead. I encourage them to be the best version of themselves. The best leaders are the ones who show trust in their students to make the best decisions."

The interviewer wants to see that you take the initiative to go above and beyond your job description. There are many opportunities to make a difference in your school. Joining committees and helping plan events shows that you are taking an interest in the greater good of your students and faculty.

"I helped plan the high school dances, acting as a chaperone. It was fun to work with the teachers and the parents to put together events for the students. We worked together to make it a good experience for everyone by hiring a fun DJ and having fun activities for the kids."

I helped in organizing different programs or activities for the students such as the prom, school-wide contests, and forums. I also volunteer as an adult leader on most student-led activities where I assist the student-leaders in their planned activities. I enjoy working with the students as well as my colleagues as we create meaningful experiences for the students.
