Assistant College Principal Question:
Explain the best teacher, parent, and student you know?
Answer:
One or more teachers have positively influenced most of us in our educational career. We get into education because some teacher made a profound difference in our lives. Let the interviewer know about the best teacher you know, what makes them great and how they have influenced your education beliefs. This is the time to be passionate, sincere, and complimentary. Make sure the interviewer knows precisely how you’ve been influenced and precisely how you will affect others.
The same method will work when describing the best parent you know. What characteristics does this parent have? What makes them so great? He/she is probably very involved in their child’s life, incredibly supportive and encouraging, and provides a very structured environment. This parent will no doubt also be actively involved in their child’s academic lives, be participating in school activities, volunteering in the classroom, and staying up-to-date with school work and their child’s progress.
Finally, you will need to describe the best student you know. This student will probably represent the very reasons why you wanted to enter education in the first place. He/she is likely to be enthusiastic and eager to learn, is cooperative and helpful with other learners, is social and friendly, respects the rules and the learning environment, and puts forth a strong effort in their education.
