I put in my application on July 28, 2014, and then had an interview on August 5, 2014. The interview was supposed to be 30 minutes but ended up being about 2 hours long. It was a really enjoyable interview. They asked a lot of questions and gave me many compliments on my background. I had to agree to a background check and a reference check. Today, I completed the final steps of fingerprinting and having my photo taken. I'm not sure if they'll make me an offer yet, but I'm hopeful because I'm prior military and have had fingerprints and security clearances before. Now I'm just waiting to see if they offer me a substitute position.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

I had one very informal phone interview with the principal, vice principal, and several campus teachers. The interview was no longer than 45 minutes and very casual. They asked about my degree program, prior experience, teaching certification program, ability to work with others, and experience lesson planning, analyzing data, and teaching.

The interview process was kind of like speed dating. Some admin people were in a room, and teachers would go and talk to them at tables. Some of the people doing the short interviews seemed genuinely interested in what the teachers had to say, but others acted like they'd rather be anywhere else.

  • Tell me why you'd be a great addition to my campus.
