1Question

Tell me about a time you had to adapt your teaching approach for a challenging class

I had a Year 9 Geography class with 28 students showing low engagement with physical geography topics. The situation required immediate intervention as their mock results were 40% below target. I redesigned my approach using hands-on activities, including creating volcano models and conducting river erosion experiments in the school grounds. I also introduced peer teaching where stronger students mentored struggling ones during fieldwork activities. After 6 weeks, engagement increased dramatically with 85% of students achieving their target grades in the next assessment, and behaviour incidents dropped from 12 per week to just 2.
2Question

Describe a situation where you motivated a disengaged student to participate in Geography

I had a Year 10 student, Jake, who consistently disrupted lessons and showed no interest in Geography coursework. He was at risk of failing his GCSE with current performance at grade 2. I discovered his passion for football and connected this to urban geography by analysing stadium locations and transport links. I assigned him a project mapping football grounds across the UK, incorporating population density and economic factors. This sparked his interest, and he began participating actively in discussions. Over the term, his coursework improved to grade 5 standard, and he became a positive influence, helping other students with their mapping skills.
