Teach for America Teacher Interview

Posted Feb 04, 2013

No Offer – Reviewed Feb 04, 2013

Interview Details There are 3 interviews overall. Getting past the first two rounds isn't very hard; it's the final round that is the most difficult. The final interview you teach a lesson, have a group discussion, and then you have a one-on-one interview. Make sure you follow their STAR advice online because a lot of their questions come from that method. I would also read articles about the education in the places where they teach so you can be more informed for the group discussion. In the interview you are asked questions on your personal perseverance. They also ask a lot of questions about your organizational skills so be sure to have specific examples about that.

Interview Question – Tell me more about your organizational skills. How do you stay organized and keep track of all your appointments?   Answer Question

Other Details - I applied online and the process took 3 weeks.
