It was pretty relaxed. I first met with the principal, and then I was interviewed by four teachers all at the same time. They asked questions that weren't too difficult. I had to prepare a sample lesson and a lesson plan. They also asked me to bring my resume, which was standard. The interviewers were really nice and answered everything I asked them clearly.

Behavioral Presentation
The initial interview process for the Classroom Teacher role occurred in June 2005. It was a very professional interaction where the interviewer really dug into my grasp of teaching methods and techniques. Even though I had already submitted my educational philosophy with my application, I was asked to present and explain it directly to the interviewer. Following a contract offer made a week later, I was instructed to attend a job fair hosted by MCS. At this fair, I met with principals who were looking to fill open teaching positions.
