Question 26 of 30

How would you go about helping a student that is struggling to learn a new concept?

"When it comes to each student, I know that everyone learns differently. If I am teaching a student about past tense verbs, I try some different ways to help them succeed.

      How to Answer

      The interviewer wants specific ways that you will go into helping a student that is not getting the material the first time. It is common knowledge that not everyone is going to make sense of a new concept the very first time. By showing patience and having a few tricks up your sleeve, you can speak to the plan to help all students succeed.

      "When a student is struggling to learn a new concept, I will spend extra time in class working with them one-on-one. If a peer is grasping the concept, I may even ask them to teach it and see if the student understands it. At the end of the day, we are all teachers."

      Shane's Feedback

      I love the collaboration with students being the teacher. It might still be wise to oversee the process, just to make sure things are in order when the two are talking about the topic. Staying on task is key.
