Presentation Behavioral Technical
Started with an initial phone screen, then a video call, followed by a presentation based on a prompt. After they liked the presentation, there were three or four more interviews, but the last two felt unnecessary and could have been covered after the presentation. Some odd, subjective questions towards the end made it feel like they were looking for reasons not to hire me, instead of reasons to hire me. This was surprising because I have experience in the education industry, but the interview process didn't feel like it was for a school at all.

Presentation Behavioral
It was a thorough, multi-leveled interview process. I was asked to create and present a lesson plan, which I thought was a brilliant idea, so I actually did 2. I consider myself a strong teacher and planner, and I really appreciated the chance to show off my planning style.
