1Question

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

I had a Year 5 pupil who was struggling with fractions and becoming increasingly frustrated during maths lessons. I recognised that my standard visual approach wasn't working for him. I arranged a meeting with his parents and discovered he was a kinaesthetic learner who loved football. I adapted my teaching by creating fraction activities using football scenarios - dividing pizza slices for team celebrations and calculating match statistics. Within 3 weeks, his confidence improved dramatically and his test scores increased from 45% to 78%. This experience reinforced the importance of understanding individual learning styles and adapting teaching methods accordingly.
2Question

Describe how you build positive relationships with parents and carers

At parents' evening last term, I met with Mrs Johnson whose daughter Emma was struggling with reading confidence. Rather than just highlighting the problems, I prepared a portfolio showing Emma's progress over 8 weeks, including voice recordings of her reading improvement. I explained my targeted intervention plan and suggested 3 specific activities she could do at home for 10 minutes daily. I followed up with weekly positive phone calls highlighting Emma's achievements. By the end of term, Emma's reading age had improved by 6 months and Mrs Johnson became one of our most supportive parent volunteers, helping with reading groups twice weekly.
