There was one interviewer asking questions, but several other people were watching the zoom call. They asked about my teaching style and also had me do a mock lesson. It wasn’t too hard, but they did ask questions about how I would be as a teacher.

It was a really chill interview. I got contacted by a recruiter after sending in my resume. The principal asked me what I knew about the school and also described the kids as inner-city and entitled, saying they are spoiled because they get so many services in the program. Then, I was asked about my classroom management style, how I build relationships, and other questions. It wasn't until the very end that I found out it was for an ASSISTANT teacher role, not a CO-TEACHER position as the recruiter had implied.

Behavioral Presentation
I applied online and within a week, I got a call for a phone interview. Then, I was asked to come in for a demo/in-person interview right away. The interview felt like I was an inconvenience. Nobody was ready, and it started late. The person who was supposed to interview me didn't, but another team member watched my demo lesson and filmed it. I felt like I did okay, but I wasn't sure if I got the job afterwards.

- Can you introduce yourself and explain your path to teaching?
