They asked some basic questions, nothing too difficult. It was about how I'd make sure students did well on tests and how I'd use culturally relevant teaching. They also asked about how I'd work with the students I'd be teaching.

Behavioral
There's a pre-screener interview that happens 6 months before the hiring season starts. It's meant to speed things up for applications and interviews in the spring. The interviews are usually pretty quick and don't really tell you much about the actual day-to-day tasks or how many students you'll have. They really want you to ask questions, so have a few ready before you meet.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you describe your approach to managing classroom behaviors?
