I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Teach for America (Saint Louis, MO) in Oct 2022
Interview
The recruiter called me at the scheduled time and asked me a few basic questions, including "tell me a little bit about yourself," "what motivated you to choose your major," and "what is your long term career goal." Then, the recruiter gave me a general introduction to Teach for America and how Corps members will be trained and prepared for the next two years they will be spending with students from disadvantaged school districts. Finally, I asked a few questions that I had for Teach for America.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Philadelphia, PA) in Dec 2024
Interview
The interview was very different from most interviews but I was definitely well-prepared with the resources that TFA had offered in preparation. My interviewer was very nice and it often felt like a conversation between us about whatever question was asked which was nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to be a part of Teach For America?
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.
