First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Edward W. Brooke Charter School.
Associate Teacher
I applied and then they got back to me super fast for the first interview. I didn't have much time to get ready, so I didn't feel super confident. The person interviewing me was nice and asked some good questions.
- Tell me about a time you failed.
Associate Teacher
It was a good interview process. They gave me a tour of the school with a current Associate Teacher, I observed classrooms, interviewed with the principal, and did a demo lesson. I could walk around the school and see all the classrooms for as long as I wanted. Everyone I met was nice and engaging. All the teachers I saw had their own way of teaching but were good at keeping students interested in every grade, and they really focused on college prep for all students. The school's mission is super clear and shown through the whole interview. The whole thing, from the first phone call to the interview day with the demo lesson, to getting the offer, took about 4 weeks.
- Can you give us your self-assessment of the demo lesson, highlighting what went well and what could be improved?
Associate Teacher
Applied on Oct 29th and got a response for a 30-minute phone interview on Nov 5th. The phone interview was pretty straightforward. The interviewer asked why I wanted to work in urban education (they seemed to really want a specific answer since they asked twice), some scenario questions like if a class I substituted for went badly, how I would resolve it, and what I wanted to do after this position (it seemed like they really want you to stay long term as a teacher). The interviewer sounded bored and a bit condescending, a lot of 'mhm's after responses. They also seemed to be looking for very specific, 'correct' answers and would ask twice for clarification if they didn't like the answer. Got a response a week after the phone interview saying they weren't continuing with my application.
- What are your plans for the future after your time as an Associate Teacher?
- If a class you were substituting didn't go as planned, what would you do when the regular teacher returned?
Associate Teacher
The interview process had several stages. It began with a 30-minute phone call with the head of the Associate Teacher Program. This was followed by a second round, which was a Zoom panel interview. The third round involved an in-person teaching demonstration and a reflection session. Finally, the fourth round was a reference check. The overall process was very timely.
- If you and another associate teacher on campus couldn't agree on the best homework assignment, how would you handle the situation?
