Tell me about a time when you worked with a team to solve a problem.

You'll interact with more people than just parents and pupils. Your interviewer wants to know that you can work with just about anyone because you'll frequently need to collaborate with assistants, school personnel, and other teachers to help pupils achieve.

An excellent method to demonstrate that you can communicate and work with others even in difficult circumstances is to share a story about a team setting where things didn't go as planned. So instead of focusing on the issue, highlight how you overcame it to produce something worthwhile. Even if you lack teaching experience, you can still demonstrate your methods by using examples from your past work in another setting.

Example:

In my previous position as a project coordinator, I had to work with our account managers to meet a client's extremely short deadline. The project required numerous modifications, which left us all feeling a little frantic, but we came up with a plan and divided the work, staying up late on a few occasions to make sure we finished on time. We couldn't have done it without cooperating, and I firmly believe that this is also true when a teacher collaborates with other staff members; you can't do it alone if you want to successfully create a learning environment that supports each kid as an individual and works for all of them.
