Dear Hiring Manager,

1Question

Tell me about a time you had to adapt quickly to a new school environment — what challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Situation: I was called in at 7:45am to cover a Year 4 class at a school I had never visited, with no lesson plan left by the class teacher. Task: I needed to deliver a full day of structured learning for 28 pupils while maintaining behaviour and following the school's routines. Action: I introduced myself clearly, established expectations in the first five minutes, and used a mental maths warm-up to settle the class. I then drew on my knowledge of the KS2 curriculum to deliver a literacy session on sentence structure and an afternoon science activity on habitats. I asked the teaching assistant to brief me on two pupils with additional needs. Result: The school coordinator noted the class was calm and on-task all day, and I received a re-booking request for the following week.
2Question

Describe a situation where you had to manage challenging behaviour in a classroom. What did you do and what was the outcome?

Situation: During a Year 2 supply day, three pupils became disruptive during a phonics session, distracting the rest of the class of 30. Task: I needed to de-escalate the situation without interrupting learning for the wider group. Action: I used a calm, low-voice redirection technique, moved one pupil to a different seat closer to me, and introduced a visual reward chart for the session — a strategy I had seen work in previous KS1 placements. I also briefly checked in with the teaching assistant to confirm whether any of the three had specific behaviour plans in place. Result: Within ten minutes the class was re-engaged, and all three pupils earned a sticker by the end of the session. The class teacher noted in her feedback that behaviour had been well managed.
