Behavioral Technical

Had a 20min phone screen with a recruiter, think they were district level, so couldn't answer role or campus specifics. Then an in-person interview on campus, about an hour, mostly Q&A, one-on-one with the principal. Just the one interview, no other rounds.

We had a short initial phone call to check your background, if you're interested, and basic qualifications. Then there was a demo lesson and an interview with admin to assess your skills and fit. It all went smoothly and in detail, no issues at all.
