Behavioral Case
It was a pretty standard interview process. I faced a panel of interviewers and answered a bunch of questions. Some questions were about my personal experiences, and others were about in-class scenarios and how I'd handle them.

Presentation Behavioral
It was a long and tedious process, as one might expect from a large public school district. Things move slowly during the application and clearing stages. There were a few interviews, including a 12-minute micro-lesson where I had to teach LAUSD employees who pretended to be unruly students. It's not exactly a predictor of in-classroom success, but I got through it. My advice for the micro-lesson is to teach something small and simple so you have time to check for understanding and let the 'students' apply what they learned.

Behavioral
I hated the interview process. Before you can even apply, you have to do an "eligibility interview." They read your resume back to you, ask for your social security number (seriously?!), and you can't take notes when they ask questions. Other districts give you the questions beforehand. They also wanted transcripts just to apply, which is weird because I've only ever been asked for those after getting a job offer. They aren't doing things the normal way, and it was a big turnoff, so I didn't finish applying.
