Interview
It was a very long interview process, much of which was in a group of other people being interviewed. There is part of the interview where you have a conversation about an educational equity issue and debate it with the other interviewees. You also give a sample lesson to the group.

I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America (Ithaca, NY) in Oct 2024
Interview
The interview started with a mock lesson and case study, followed by questions about me and my interest in the position. I prepared slides to present to the interviewer and shared my screen.
You had to complete a demo in front of other candidates as well as recruiters. The demo itself was short and you had flexibility in what you “taught” for your lesson.
