1) Describe your philosophy on classroom discipline and outline a three-step procedure you would use to address persistent disruptive behavior in a 3rd-grade class. 2) How do you create a positive and engaging classroom environment that minimizes the need for disciplinary actions? Give specific examples of rules and routines you would establish. 3) Explain how you would differentiate a lesson on fractions for three distinct groups of students: those who have mastered the concept, those who need moderate support, and those with a specific learning difficulty. 4) Discuss the importance of inclusive practices in an elementary classroom. How do you ensure that all students, regardless of their background or ability, feel valued and actively participate in lessons? 5) Compare and contrast formative assessment and summative assessment. Provide a practical example of each that is appropriate for 4th graders and explain how you use the results to modify instruction. 6) How do you deliver constructive and motivational feedback to young students about their work, ensuring they understand how to improve their skills rather than just focusing on the grade or score? 7) Choose an interdisciplinary topic (e.g., 'Water Cycle' or 'Local History') and explain the process of designing a two-week, Project-Based Learning (PBL) unit for 5th graders, detailing the learning objectives from at least two different subjects. 8) What are the key components of an effective lesson plan for an elementary school setting, and which component do you consider the most crucial for ensuring high student engagement? 9) Outline your strategy for conducting a productive parent-teacher conference for a child who is struggling academically and behaviorally. What is your goal for this meeting, and what specific data would you share? 10) How do you maintain consistent, positive, and proactive communication with parents throughout the school year? Discuss the different methods or digital tools (e.g., ClassDojo, emails) you prefer to use. 11) Discuss the importance of developing critical thinking and collaboration skills in elementary students. Suggest two practical, non-tech activities you would use to teach and assess these 21st-century skills. 12) Describe a specific lesson where you successfully integrated a technology tool (e.g., educational app, interactive whiteboard, educational games) to enhance student learning and participation beyond traditional methods.
