      Answer Example

      "My greatest weakness is classroom management. When working with students, it can be challenging to know what to do when a child acts out. I have been connecting with fellow teachers and looking for resources to help me in this area. I would also be willing to have experienced teachers come and observe my class to give me feedback."

      Shane's Feedback

      Assessing can look a lot of ways. Of course, the traditional quiz, test, or essay will do. But, you can use platforms like Kahoot! and Google applications to help you along in the right direction.
