The county held an initial screening interview day. Individual schools set up interviews for specific positions. Interview panels consisted of 1-5 people. I was given a copy of the interview questions to review while at the interviews. Was asked anywhere from 3 to 10 questions.

Asked about discipline procedures in different variations.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at St. Mary's County Public Schools
Interview
It was quick and easy. There was a panel of about 6 which shocked me but I had experience in the job so it wasn’t too intimidating. After the interview there was a one question essay which was easy as well.

Interview
When you arrive, you will meet your selection board (usually two or three people, including the supervisor of the position and a representative of Human Resources). The team leader will tell you what to expect, and will explain that the board will be recording your answers for later review. Don't let this recording process distract you—it’s a normal part of the interview and necessary to make a complete assessment later on.
The board will then begin asking you a series of questions to assess your knowledge

Question 1
You will likely be asked questions about your teamwork skills, your interpersonal relations, your management style or your ability to work in a diverse environment. Review the job posting again and try to anticipate other likely areas of questioning, and prepare honest and concise answers that highlight relevant aspects of your work history and life experience. Remember that there may be questions you did not anticipate: when this happens, breathe and take a moment to think through your experiences to find the best answers.
