An interview with a teaching portion, where you teach a lesson on your topic of choice. Followed by a standard behavioral / situational portion (helpful to cite past work experience).
I interviewed at Teach for America (Baltimore, MD)
Interview
Apply via written online application and then if accepted, attend an in person interview and activity. The activity involves sharing a 5 minute lesson in front of other applicants. You’re also sitting through everyone else’s lessons, and they’re watching how you participate.
I gave a practice teach to a group of 10 other interviewees. There was a 30 minute one on one with a recruiter. It was all done on Skype. The practice teach was about 15 minutes and you also had to sit in on everyone else's.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I don't remember the exact question but I think I answered it wrong since I said I just want to teach. It seems that they're looking more for policy change makers and people looking to change the system to make it more equitable.
