In an interview, if you didn’t know the answer to a question (curriculum, subject, topic, etc.) would you make up an answer the best you could or tell them you didn’t know?

Good question. I say answer in the most positive way possible. Always leave them knowing you are more than willing to grow.
Ex: I don’t have specific experience with that particular curriculum. However, I have learned and taught several different curricula over the years which required me to seek training and support in order to do so. If you are able, I’d love to take a TE home today to get familiar with it.
