Behavioral Other
The interviewers seemed uninterested and bored, not smiling at all. Even though I was overqualified, they didn't engage with my experience. They didn't even say thank you. When I followed up about a decision, they claimed they hadn't made one yet. After I mentioned having another offer with a deadline, they said they'd found someone, which seems incredibly fast.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied online. The Principal emailed me to set up a phone interview, which lasted about 45 minutes and had typical questions. They really focused on how I could teach with 'arts infusion.' Then there was a follow-on interview that got rescheduled twice because the Principal and panel were busy. Finally, I came in for a quick school tour and then taught a model lesson for about 30 minutes to students. They gave me a student learning objective from the Arkansas Frameworks the day before. After the lesson, I had to analyze some data they gave me to show how I work with data. Then a panel of 3 interviewed me (one left early). It was all friendly and low stress, and the interviewers were easy to talk to but professional. They said I'd hear back in about a week, but it took about 2 months.

- I was given some unfamiliar data to analyze for about 5 minutes and then asked to present my recommendations to the review panel.
- I was asked about infusing arts into lessons. At first it was hard, but then they clarified that 'arts' was a broad term including things like videos, computer work, drawing, design projects, and acting to engage students beyond lectures.

Before meeting with the hiring manager or principal, you have to do a mock lesson in front of the kids while the hiring team watches. Then, the kids decide if they want to move forward with you. If the kids liked you and your lesson, you'll be invited back for a normal interview.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- What are your thoughts on collaborating with fellow teachers?
- For instance, how would you approach integrating plate tectonics (science) with geography and cultural development (social studies)?
