Applied online, then I was sent an examination for the first round. I passed that, and the second round was an oral examination or clinical interview. The final round was an interview with the admin team, and there were two interviewers.

Behavioral Technical

It was a zoom meeting. The supervisor called and asked about myself and other standard interview questions. The main question was about the qualities of a good substitute teacher. I said someone who can smoothly fill the gap of the absent teacher and keep the lesson plans of the regular teacher uninterrupted throughout the semester.

I applied online. A few weeks after the job closed, I got an email inviting me to take a written test. This first test was at the district office with a big group, over 50 people, and it was multiple choice using a scan-tron. About a week after that, I got an invite for an oral exam, which was a panel interview with 3 people at the district. They also required a DMV printout. I was told an eligibility list would be made using scores from both tests. Only the top 3 scorers would get a second interview. About a week after the oral exam (the first real interview), I got my written test score and my ranking. Sadly, I didn't make the top 3, but I'll be on the list for the next opening.

Technical Behavioral Presentation

The first step is an application review, which involves a background check and an evaluation of how well the application and resume are written. Next, there's a test to confirm knowledge equivalent to pre-algebra, basic English and grammar, along with a situational judgment test. Following that, a panel of about three people will interview you, asking about how you'd handle specific scenarios. After this, you'll be ranked from one to ten based on your performance across all areas, with one being the best. When jobs become available, those ranked first are contacted by the hiring school for a one-on-one interview with the principal.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • How would you respond if a parent expresses complaints about specific issues.
