1Question

Tell me about a time you had to adapt quickly to a new classroom environment

I was called for an emergency placement at a Year 2 class where the teacher was unexpectedly absent. Within 15 minutes of arrival, I reviewed the lesson plans, identified 4 children with additional needs, and established classroom routines. I introduced myself through a morning circle activity, quickly learned all 26 names, and maintained the planned literacy lesson while providing extra support to struggling readers. By lunch, the children were comfortable with me, and I successfully delivered all planned activities. The head teacher commended my seamless integration and invited me back for future placements.

2Question

Describe a situation where you helped a struggling child make progress

I worked with Jake, a Year 1 pupil with severe anxiety around maths activities who would shut down completely during number work. I observed his interests and discovered he loved dinosaurs. I created dinosaur-themed counting games, used toy dinosaurs for practical maths, and made dinosaur number charts. Over 6 weeks, Jake progressed from refusing to participate to completing addition sums up to 10. His confidence grew so much that he began helping other children with counting. His teacher reported a 90% improvement in maths engagement, and Jake's parents noticed him practising numbers at home for the first time.
