I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chicago Public Schools (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2015
Interview
Mini-Lesson, typically on any topic you choose in your subject area.
Principal or assistant principal present, along with a teacher or two from the department.
Really, it's about who you know (at the "good" schools). Neighborhood schools will really hire anyone who is qualified and will accept the job (and isn't too blatantly incompetent).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is one thing you would change about the lesson you presented?
Why did you choose to present this lesson?
What accommodations/modifications would you make to this lesson?
