Presentation Behavioral Technical
First you record yourself answering interview questions they provide through their program, which was super uncomfortable and then if you do well you proceed to the next step of interviews where you present a mini lesson by teaching your mini lesson to adults like they were the students and you do this with their program you would be using if you get hired. The whole thing was weird and uncomfortable. If you do well after that they put you in a teacher pool, which they do not tell you until the end of the whole process so it kind of felt like a waste of time.

Behavioral Presentation Other
The interview process involved a Hireview recorded video where I had to answer questions about my philosophy and different scenarios. Then, there was an online, live interview where I had to teach a lesson to two leads. The lesson needed to include stating the standard in student-friendly 'I can' language, modeling the skill, having students practice, and finally, an exit ticket or assessment.

Behavioral Presentation
It started with a phone interview, which was like a screening. After that, we scheduled a time for me to do a sample lesson online using Blackboard. I got to pick the lesson topic myself. The people interviewing me were really nice and made me feel at ease. They were supportive and helpful throughout.
