The interview process was laid out pretty clearly and was easy to follow. First, I chatted with a recruiter on the phone. Then, I had a video call with the hiring manager. Finally, I did a panel interview with some members of the Central Office team. They kept me in the loop with clear expectations and timelines throughout.

The interview process started with a phone screening. Then, there was a performance task where I had to suggest EL modifications for a general education classroom and create a lesson plan. Finally, I had a one-on-one interview with the director, which focused on my knowledge of English language acquisition pedagogy, my ability to do sheltered instruction, and major emphasis was placed on co-teaching.

Behavioral Presentation Group
First up was a panel interview, just a casual chat about my experience, how I run a classroom, and what I expect from students. Then I had to do a mock lesson, teaching both math and literacy, with students and admin joining in. After that, we chatted about what went well and what could have gone better.
