QUESTION 22 OF 26

What do you know about our educational program?

"I've taken a look at your program and, to my understanding, at this school, we have a 12-to-1 student ratio, and that we value community engagement and do our best to ensure that the students are still integrated with the community. That's very much why I decided to apply to this specific program. I have experience in working with the community to encourage a safe environment for the students to engage with their community."

Be sure to have taken the time to research the educational program online, check reviews and any social media presence they may have. This is an answer that you are best to rehearse prior to the interview. "From the research I have conducted, I see that your educational program is heavily hands-on based with a strong tie to the community. Your focus has been primarily on students affected by Autism which is a large reason why I was so drawn to your program."

Anonymous Answer

From student teaching and being a former student in this school district, I see that your program is heavily focused on inclusion. I understand that your district is also heavily focused on building those important relationships with students. This is the reason I am drawn to your school district.
