Classroom Management: (Even if it was just during your practicum).
Differentiated Instruction: (Adapting lessons for different learning styles).
Lesson Planning: (Mention specific tools like Google Classroom or Canvas).

"How would you handle a disruptive student?" (Focus on your philosophy: De-escalation, Positive Reinforcement).
"Describe a lesson that went well/poorly during your student teaching." (Show adaptability).
"How will you communicate with parents?" (Mention newsletters, apps like ClassDojo).
