Sample answer
“At a previous school in Lyon, we received feedback that the math curriculum was not engaging students effectively. I organized focus groups with both teachers and students to pinpoint specific issues. Using their insights, I developed hands-on, project-based learning modules which were piloted in a few classes. The result was a 30% increase in student engagement scores, and we received positive feedback from both students and parents.”
