Learning is social. Students often learn more from each other than they do from teachers, so it is important to not only incorporate cooperative learning in your classroom but to teach students how to effectively learn cooperatively. Working as a group, listening, speaking up, and sharing are all important life skills that are relevant in the workforce. Demonstrate your awareness of the importance of cooperative learning and share the ways in which you encourage it in your classroom.

The interviewer asks these questions to ensure that you know the importance of cooperative learning and to see whether or not you encourage it in your space. Learning comes easiest when students have the time and space to discuss their learning and problem solve with each other. Share that you prioritize cooperative learning and help students do so appropriately in your classroom.

"I've found that students often learn more from each other than they do from teachers, so I assign a lot of group work. Students are constantly collaborating in my class to solve problems and work on projects. Working as a team towards a common goal is a life skill that is necessary for employment, so I am passionate about helping students work cooperatively."
