I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Achievement First (Hartford, CT) in Sept 2017
Interview
I emailed the HR Recruiter and received a prompt response for a phone interview. I was asked very specific questions about Achievement First; why I want to work there, what I value about the mission, how I have implemented some of their values in my previous experience, etc. I completed an online application with many open ended questions. I was invited in for an in person interview which included a mini demo lesson. I was provided lots of material to prepare for the lesson and familiarize myself with some of the Achievement First teaching methods. The day of the interview I was given a tour of the school, met the principal, and was given some feedback on my lesson before going into the classroom. I taught to about 12 kids and then returned to the Principal's office for follow up questions specific to my experience.
I interviewed at Achievement First (Providence, RI)
Interview
The interview process seemed to be quite simple and straight forward. I spoke with a recruiter after I applied and did a phone interview with them before setting up an interview for in person with the principal. The entire process was pretty straight forward and explained prior to the in person interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked how I create a welcoming environment for all cultures and people.
Smooth on location lesson demo feedback on lesson plans could be a little bit faster with the response and picking date for interview
Staff seems nice
It was an average teacher interview review your résumé go over your lesson demo and then that's when they decide if they're going to offer you an offer letter
Phone call and then an in person demo lesson with real students and in the moment feedback. Usually a reading lesson or science lesson. Be ready to implement feedback in the moment and take direction from leadership
