Instruction can not stay stagnant, or things get boring in a classroom. Students also struggle to learn. An interviewer wants to take in all the methods that you have in the tool bag. Give specifics to help lead your students in the right direction.

Answer Example
"Not all students learn the same way, so I mix a lot of things into one class to give variance. I have students read and write each day in different ways. For example, reading for Monday involves silent reading, Tuesday is group reading, and so on."

"Data is a great way to show what my students know and what they do not know. With this in mind, I find groupings of people that can be matched together to work toward completition or push ahead if they have achieved proficiency."
Shane's Feedback
Having smaller groups is a better way to achieve proficiently and effectiveness. Continue to keep an eye on the groups and everything should fall into place to benefit your students.
