It was an informal and casual interview, very informative, positive, and pleasant. It was conversational. They really need teachers here in Louisiana, and you can tell. My experience is they won't make it difficult for you, which I appreciated.

It was a great interview. I loved every minute of it. It was great to talk to teachers and principals. Got the chance to talk to them and ask them questions also when I got the chances. They are all about opportunity.

Behavioral Presentation Technical
I started by submitting a detailed online application, which included a cover letter, resume, essay questions, and copying my resume into specific fields. After that, I had a phone interview lasting about 45 minutes. Once that went well, I listed the FLS network schools where I'd be willing to work. Then, leaders from those schools contacted me. The next step was an on-site visit where I had to do a sample lesson, get feedback, re-teach the lesson, and then be interviewed by a panel of teachers and also individually by the school leader (twice). I had to analyze data from my exit tickets from both sample lessons to show how the feedback improved my second lesson. The lesson topics (simile and metaphor) were provided beforehand. It was more intense than my Teach For America interview.

Behavioral Presentation Technical
It was a 3-part interview process. The first was a traditional interview asking about my interest in the job, my goals as an educator, and how I envision myself in the role. The second part involved creating an ideal class schedule and then scheduling a meeting with the director and an I.E.P meeting with a parent. The third part was another Q&A session. The overall process was smooth, but you definitely had to demonstrate your knowledge.
