6. Tell us what is your particular way for leading specific groups of visitors on museum tours?

7. Tell us what can you bring to our school that makes you unique?
This question is pretty straight forward, and the perfect opportunity for you to really let your unique qualities shine. Talk about activities you've participated in or passions you have that can easily translate into teachable moments and classroom activities that fall outside the usual curriculum that is currently being enacted. Don't criticize what they're doing, but explain how what you're bringing will augment and compliment what they've already got in place.
