A safe bet for a good answer here would be to focus on a teacher who had one and only one style of teaching. The history teacher whom everyone called "Captain Video" or the science teacher nicknamed "Louie the Lecturer" might be a place to start. Be careful not to belittle any one teaching technique (remember, the person interviewing you was once a teacher too) but express your concern about teachers who appear to be in the rut of re-using lesson plans for years. Sameness is a difficult environment in which to excite young learners.

As you talk about this (real or imaginary) teacher, be sure to include how you would be different. Stress, in conclusion, the realization that you learned something from even your worst teacher. This concept is both frightening and awe-inspiring: every teacher can have an important contribution to who and what each child later becomes.
