Teacher Education Elevator Pitch
Use this strategy to answer the interview question “Tell me about yourself,” to introduce yourself at an education career fair, to network at a professional event or to mingle at a party.Your Elevator Pitch is an advertisement of yourself. Be sure to keep it career-related and avoid personal information (where you were born, what your parents do for a living, how many siblings you have, etc.).
