I have an interview tomorrow for a teaching course. They are going to ask me to talk about my personal strengths and suitability for teaching. I`ve got the patience, want to add to my knowledge as well as that of my pupils, want to help tomorrows adults on the academic pathway answers all lined up, but I would like some really different answers that will help me stand out from the crowd. Any ideas anyone?

Hey babe,god only knows what the first reply was all about,bit of a weird one.
Anways.....down to your question
well what u have written so far is a great start. You know what you want to gain from the job and also you are very passionate about teaching. Be yourself,if there are certain aspects of the job that you think you could change for the better then say so.If there are parts of the job that you will need to learn more from,tell them.
If you are honest and upfront and come across natural then you will sail it. Dont just say what you think they want to hear.Be honest,upfront and most importantly,let your personality shine through. Good luck hunny.Mean that.Wish you all the best.Your brave wanting to be a teacher,id crap my pants at the thought of 40 faces staring at me hoping i know the answer.xxxxx

Tell them that tomorrow and you should be fine. If you want to stand out, wear neon green clothing, dayglo makeup and really cheap cologne in large amounts.
Oh! answers that stand out:
"I don't know."
"If students don't show up, I give them a drop in their grade, even if they're sick, or family matters took them out of town, because they choose to do those things. They could just as easily choose to come to school." (My son's band instructor.)
"I will automatically fail a student if they don't own their own equipment or books, even if they can pass the exam or exercise." (My daughter's band instructor.)
"I never allow students to go to the bathroom while taking a test, even if they piddle on the floor and there are four sections left, each with several questions." (My son's kindergarten teacher.)
"I like to use my students as test subjects for my psychology studies, even though there is a risk of building a complex in their minds from an illogical sequence, because kids are just so genuine." (My first grade teacher, who told the entire class that kids with brown eyes had a harder time with learnin math than kids with blue eyes. The next day she told the class she made a mistake, it was the other way around. To this day I have a mental block with math.)
Hope this helps you with what not to say.

I have no idea what he's bleating on about above.
Cut & paste king!
Be open & they start to make you feel like your're not convincing them.
Ask them a question & leave silences when they answer hopefully the interviewer may feel that you're in charge & that's what they're looking for.
You'd be suprised how unprepared some interviewers are when you turn it around & ask them for some input.

Tell them on a personal note why you want to help the adults on the academic pathway.

hey iamabison or whatever. Say no to crack!! What a junkie!!
Sorry, you need to appeal to their sense of humour. Show that you will bring charisma to the work environment. Always make sure that you have indicated that you will go the extra mile for your students. Ask about policies and see if they would mind if you challenged any in order to give your students more. For example, ask about work hours and see if its ok to come in much earlier in order to ready yourself. Always show your smile and lean towards your interviewer(s) to show your interest. My best of the clover to you!! Remember, enjoy yourself!!

Strong handshake, don't cross your legs, sit with one foot in the instep of another, only use your right had to shake, hand in a document or take something, ask questions so they know you care and look them in the eye! Be pleasant and sure of yourself! Best of Luck!

HISTORY + 114 . MDCCLXXVI +114.UNITEDKING+114
Please bring original HISTORY .Six thousand journalist are suppressing the truth of history but in one day it will come out
Now we are in 21st century there were times former journalist exposed truth and sacrificed their precious life for the sake of truth, they unveiled the real history. Perhaps contradicting to their present power and money clouded their mind and our upcoming generation becomes a victim.
We do not believe politicians as we used to, we do not believe the media, and whereas we believe each other”
Thanking you
Your’s sincerely

You should try telling a short story/experience that relates to all the strengths you had elaborated.
