Had a 30-minute phone interview with the recruiter. Started with a 'tell me about yourself' question, then we went over job details like hours and a quick review of the position. The last part had some scenario-based questions, questions about my views and beliefs, and how I work with others. The recruiter left time at the end for my questions and was very personable.

Behavioral Presentation
First I applied online, then had a phone interview. After that, I went in for an in-person demo and interview. The questions were all very generic, 'no excuses' charter school questions. During the phone interview, they asked if I was interested in coming in for an in-person demo. When I came in, I was taped during the demo, and after that, I met with the principal and recruiter to discuss how the lesson went.

It was a really good experience, felt more like a conversation than an interview. They were thorough and had 4 people on the panel who were very personable. They gave a timeline and stuck to it, but they did need an answer from me quickly. I would definitely consider interviewing with them again if a suitable position comes up.

Behavioral Presentation
After applying, I think there was a phone interview first. Then, I went in to teach a sample lesson, got a tour of the campus, and then had a regular interview with about 3 to 5 administrators and talent managers. Overall, it was a really comfortable and great experience.
