1Question

Tell me about a time you had to adapt your teaching approach for struggling students

During my placement at a comprehensive school, I noticed 8 students in my Year 9 Geography class were struggling with map reading skills. I identified this through their poor performance on a rivers assessment where 6 scored below 40%. I created differentiated worksheets with step-by-step visual guides and paired struggling students with confident peers for collaborative map work. I also provided additional after-school sessions twice weekly for 4 weeks. As a result, all 8 students improved their map reading scores by at least 25%, with 5 achieving above the class average in the following assessment.
2Question

Describe a situation where you collaborated with colleagues to improve department outcomes

In my previous role, our Humanities department's GCSE results were 12% below the national average. I worked with 3 colleagues to analyse student performance data and identified that physical geography was the weakest area. We developed a shared resource bank of practical activities and field work simulations, meeting weekly for 6 weeks to create materials. I led the creation of 15 interactive physical geography lessons focusing on rivers and coasts. After implementing these resources across all classes, our department saw a 20% improvement in physical geography exam scores, bringing us 8% above national average.
