Tell me about your teaching strategies.

Teaching strategies are methods and techniques that a teacher will use to help their pupils or students learn; a teacher will select the teaching strategy that is best suited to the topic being studied, the learner's level of expertise, and the stage in their learning journey. A teacher may employ a variety of teaching strategies with varying end goals in a single lesson. The most effective teaching strategies are those that have been tested on a large scale. There is no requirement for a teaching strategy to be innovative, though some are.

Your teaching strategies can reveal a lot about your personality to the interviewer. You may believe that your strict adherence to classroom discipline is your strong suit. Alternatively, you can perform at your best in the classroom by maintaining a relaxed, fun attitude. It is beneficial to learn about the teaching styles at the school prior to the interview. Whatever strategies you choose, be truthful.

Answer: "Students perform best when they have boundaries and structure. A lesson plan helps keep students focused and lets them know what is expected of them. I always include interactive activities in my lesson plans to help students practice what we've learned and to keep them engaged. To keep students interested, a lesson must be two-way, and interactive activities help add a fun element to the lesson."
