Highlight all of your experience dealing with children, including precise details of the work you've done with them. This method exhibits your excitement for the job as well as your ability to interact with children. For example, one candidate described himself as "a person who loves kids and wants to be a teacher." Another said he was a "patient teacher" who was willing to help younger students learn new concepts. Yet another shared that he was a "student first" teacher who wanted to develop his skills so he could "teach what [he] know[s]." When asked about teaching methods, each candidate used specific examples to demonstrate how they would use different techniques to engage their students. For example, one candidate explained that he would get students involved in group activities to encourage them to think critically and communicate effectively. Another said he would play music students enjoy so they would want to come to school every day. A third mentioned using puppets to teach science concepts, while another suggested role-playing games to teach social studies topics. These are just some examples of how people have expressed their interest in becoming teachers. The most effective candidates will discuss experiences beyond simply having a child themselves. They should also describe other ways they have demonstrated their love for children and desire to educate them.
