Application Quandry

So, I'm working on the application for the Montessori Institute of Wisconsin. Bear in mind that this is a teacher certification program.

One of the questions is: "How do you intend to use your training?"

While I am tempted to put "To further my study of archaeology. I know that all the really good Indo-Mesopotamian programs require an AMI certification as a pre-requisite", I suppose they're honestly asking this question, and I can't figure out what kind of answer they're looking for.

Any ideas?

I suppose you could put something down semi-boring like "I look forward to teaching, but in the wider context of job and life skills to acquire, more training in communication [et cetera - tailor this to Montessori-specific attributes] can only help me."

Maybe they want to know what kind of teaching you plan to do -- e.g., what age of children, where you want to work, big or small school, any subject matter you're especially interested in? I agree it's not the best wording.
