Q: What are your plans for graduate school?
A: I plan
to devote my time and attention to being the best teacher I can for the first
two years of my teaching career. I want
to put all my talents and all my efforts to ensure that I’ve mastered the
curriculum, the day to day life of a successful classroom teacher, and the
academic success of every one of my students.
When I have that down, then I would like to attend Mount Merry
University to obtain my
master’s in reading. I want to learn
everything I can about the latest research and latest teaching strategies –
particularly as they impact on my students’ comprehension development. I plan to spend about two years in obtaining
my masters.
Have a
plan. Interviewers want to know that,
just like your students, you see yourself as a learner, too. Consider how a graduate degree will help you
improve your teaching effectiveness and make additional contributions to the
school.
