When the interviewer asks about your favorite post-secondary course, they try to gain insight into your interests and passions. Your response can provide valuable information on how you approach learning and what skills you have developed through your educational experiences. Additionally, your answer can give insight into your values and how they align with the goals and values of the school district. It is important to choose a course relevant to the position you are applying for and explain how it has prepared you for the role. Generally speaking, the post-secondary studies you excel in will be where you outperform in the workplace. Give the interviewer some insight into your post-secondary areas of excellence and how that relates to your performance at work.
