I interviewed at Toronto District School Board (Toronto, ON)
Interview
2 principals, one writes, and the other asks questions. Describe a professional or relevant teaching experience where you incorporated TDSB’s multi-year plan. Provide specific examples of how you ensured equity and inclusion in your classroom. Provide specific examples of when you worked with undesearved students/students with special needs. Consider a specific unit of study that you have designed, planned and taught Briefly describe the process you used in planning this unit. How did you assess student learning in this unit and help students who are not progressing to the next level? How did you evaluate student achievement in this unit? What did you learn from this experience? The process took quite a while, but overall worth it!
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Toronto District School Board (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2026
Interview
The interview experience was great. Super friendly and personal interviewers. There were two interviewers asking questions. One writes while the other asks and they take turns. here were about 5 quick questions, mostly experience based questions about inclusive classroom and management.
It was a very easy and friendly interview overall. The tone felt relaxed and conversational, which helped reduce pressure and made it feel more like a dialogue than a formal interrogation. The interviewers focused mainly on standard, expected questions, so nothing came as a surprise.
Most of the questions were fairly typical behavioural and introductory prompts—such as walking through who I am, describing my background, and explaining my strengths. There was also an emphasis on how I manage competing priorities and juggle multiple tasks at once, likely to understand how I handle workload and time management in a practical setting.
Overall, it felt like they were trying to get a well-rounded sense of my personality, communication style, and basic working approach rather than testing highly technical knowledge. I would say the key to preparing for this type of interview is being comfortable speaking about yourself clearly, having a few solid examples ready for multitasking and teamwork, and being able to articulate your strengths in a grounded, authentic way.
