How would you assess the needs of our students and families?

Formative assessment is frequently the best way for educators of all ages to determine how well students retain information, whether they understand what is going on, and whether or not their lessons are understandable and comprehensible.

This question may be asked of you by the interviewer to assess your ability to understand the needs of students and their families. Use examples from your work with students and their families to demonstrate your ability to evaluate a variety of factors, such as academic performance, social skills, and family dynamics.

Answer as an example: "I would first look at test scores and other data to see how well our students are performing in school." I would also review student attendance records and speak with teachers about any concerns they have about specific students or groups of students. I'd then meet with parents to discuss these issues and learn about the resources they're using to help their children's education. This data assists me in developing strategies to improve student performance and ensure that all students feel supported."
