First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Cherry Creek Schools.
Teacher
The interview process was shorter but more demanding than anticipated for this top school district in the Denver Metro area, known for being tough to join due to higher than average teacher salaries and low turnover. The principal and department head at my school have been with the district for about 30 years, and most teachers here have tenure.
- Can you provide an example of a student with persistent challenging and disruptive behavior in your classroom? Please elaborate on the steps you would take to support this student, including how you'd involve external resources.
Art Teacher
They showed me the classroom and said they'd follow up fast but didn't. I followed up, and after they checked references, I followed up again offering references from older roles that may be more reliably reached. They acted annoyed that I had done so, though follow up is normal.
- Could you design a lesson plan based on a standard curriculum?
- What's your approach to managing a classroom?
- Are you open to facilitating an after-school program?
Speech Language Pathologist
The interview process involves a monthly SLP PD 'PLC' where 4-5 SLPs meet to discuss caseloads. The contract is for 187 days. There's an option to volunteer for ESY. The new hire start date is July 28th, with school beginning August 8th and ending May 24th. This includes fall break, two weeks of winter break, a March spring break, and four days for Thanksgiving.
- Regarding the monthly SLP PD 'PLC,' how do you approach meeting with 4-5 SLPs to discuss caseloads?
- What are your expectations or considerations regarding a 187-day contract?
- Would you be interested in volunteering for ESY services?
Interventionist
This was a thorough interview process that really dug into questions of equity. It felt comprehensive, and I wish there were more students involved in the interviews. There were two rounds: the first involved staff and an administrator, and the second was just with the principal. They got back to me pretty quickly after the first round about scheduling the second. It came down to me and one other candidate for that final interview.
- In what ways would you address the specific needs of this community?
