As our next eLearning Development Director, what values and traits would you bring to our team that would help promote teamwork and collaboration?
In traditional and virtual school settings, the entire staff must collaborate to provide the best possible educational outcomes for the whole student body. In this role as an eLearning Development Director, you will regularly cooperate with instructors, administrators, and curriculum developers. Your interviewer wants to know that you can collaborate effectively with any staff member on their campus, so talk about how you facilitate cooperation. Lastly, try to explain why a true team effort is so important to the success of students.
"Throughout my career, I've always been commended for being the ultimate team player. It begins with clear communication, including reflective listening. I value what my team wants to bring to the table, and I encourage them to brainstorm. I also rely on my ability to read people, and I try to respond appropriately. I also know my limitations. We were all educated and trained in our niche areas. I know I can't be everything to my students, nor do I try, so I never hesitate to enlist the help of a counselor, aide, principal, or curriculum developer when their expertise is needed."
