1Question

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

When I started a 6-week supply placement at Greenfield Primary, I discovered the Year 4 class was 3 weeks behind in their maths curriculum due to staff absence. I quickly assessed the 28 pupils' understanding through diagnostic activities and identified key gaps in multiplication tables. I restructured the daily maths sessions, introducing 15-minute morning boosters and visual learning aids. Within 4 weeks, I had caught the class up to curriculum expectations, with 89% of pupils achieving their target levels in the end-of-term assessment. The headteacher extended my placement and requested me for future cover.
2Question

Describe a challenging classroom situation and how you handled it

During a Year 7 Science lesson, two pupils with ADHD became increasingly disruptive, affecting the concentration of 26 other students during a practical experiment. I immediately implemented a calm-down strategy, giving both pupils specific roles as 'safety monitors' which channelled their energy positively. I then adjusted the lesson structure, breaking the 50-minute session into 3 shorter activities with movement breaks. This approach reduced disruptions by 90% and both pupils successfully completed their experiments. The regular teacher adopted my strategy for future lessons with these pupils.
