I would suggest that I could be versatile and adapt to any grade level, but the lower grades would be the classes I would choose over the higher ones. I feel like the younger students have a curiosity and eagerness about learning. It makes me so happy to see a younger students learning something for the first time, it is almost like a lightbulb turned on in their brains. They get so excited, especially figuring out why? and how? They love to ask questions, and are just more eager to learn.

I would first briefly describe my experiences with the levels I have had the opportunity to teach; simply what I enjoyed and the challenges of each. That way, the reasoning behind choosing a particular level would be justified. I prefer the high school level simply because I love asking the more advanced "how" and "why" questions that expand on material learned in earlier grades with more relevance to post-high school life.

I would explain what my favorite grade or subject is and why. However, I would be sure to conclude by saying that I would be eager and willing to take on new challenges and see what else I was capable of. I always thought I wanted to teach 4th grade however, I was placed in a 2nd grade classroom for an internship and am loving it. I would explain that with each placement I realized new strengths within myself and I would be eager to continue challenging and learning myself.

I have changed my mind so many times about what I want to teach because every time I had an internship, I realized that I was capable of something more. I would explain that I love challenges and would be absolutely be willing to take on any class.
