First there's a screening interview over zoom with you and the hiring committee. After that, they'll let you know if they want you to do a demo lesson. Some places give you a lot of details about the students, time, subject, and grade level so you can prepare a lesson. Then, after the demo, you'll have another interview.

Behavioral Presentation
I applied to a school, and the assistant principal emailed me after I sent my resume. I had a phone call, then another longer one. I had to submit work samples, and then I did a full team interview in person. The onboarding took a long time, and I wasn't officially hired until September 4th, even though I accepted the position in July.
