Walk me through a typical day in your classroom.

The interviewer wants to learn more about how you manage your class. How you fill the time says a lot about what matters most to you. Share some of your more unique and interesting ideas as you go about explaining a typical class period.

"I usually start my class with some sort of problem to solve within groups. Something will be posted on the projector and students know to get started right away. After a few minutes, each group shares their solution. Then, I like to jump into an engaging demo to introduce the skill we'll be learning that day or just to start a good conversation. After that, we jump into a brief lesson and students have the rest of the time for hands-on practice. This usually looks like working at various stations to apply their learning."
