This one classroom story could answer 8 interview questions...

I get asked this all the time. I'm gonna show you how one solid story can answer up to 8 interview questions. Here's an example. A student in my class, let's call him Simon. No diss to any Simons out there. Simon's regularly, he's disrupting lessons and gets very dysregulated every time maths is introduced. Over a six week period, when I was presented with this problem of practice and Simon's story, I gathered ongoing behaviour data. I've regularly communicated with Simon's family. I adjusted his curriculum. I collaborated with the wellbeing team and the school's leadership. I implemented visual supports and I explicitly taught regulation strategies and I celebrated success both for myself and by the end of the semester, Simon was more able to regulate independently. His incidents of behaviour had dropped off significantly. Now, watch. Question one. Tell us about a time you managed a challenging behaviour. How do you use data to improve outcomes? Doesn't have to be academic. How do you meet diverse learning needs? How do you develop positive relationships with students? Describe a time you've worked collaboratively with families. Tell us about a time you worked as part of a team. How do you support student wellbeing? That. Tell us about a time that something initially didn't work out, but you worked to solve a problem. One great story can answer multiple interview questions. You just need to look at it from a whole range of different lenses. That's the power of knowing your story inside out. And that's what I wrote the story system for. It is there to help teachers uncover all of their career stories.
