Behavioral Presentation Group
You'll do a few classroom visits, then have a chat with the teacher to talk about what went well and what could be better. After that, you'll need to think about the conversation and get feedback from the interviewer. You might also talk to lead teachers and other administrators. It's a busy school day, so don't expect to be the top priority. Sometimes people at the school only find out about the interview last minute because HR and the school teams are separate.

I first had to complete a Skype interview which was extremely detailed and went through a broad range range of questions... Not just about the position but also current events. I then went on to an in-person interview with the principal and two different assistant principals. Plan for most of the day going to the in-person interview.

Behavioral Other
The interview was a recorded "virtual" interview, basically to nobody. It felt impersonal, like a tool to weed people out. As someone else mentioned, where's the part where I get to see if this is a good fit for me? That personal connection was lost. I was excited about the position, but thinking about it, I don't think I want to work for a company that can't spare the time for a more personal phone interview.

Behavioral Presentation
Initially, the hiring process moved very quickly, but it soon became quite disorganized and disjointed. I was a bit surprised by the distant and cold demeanor of some of the professionals I spoke with, especially considering this institution claims a strong commitment to community and justice.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- What is your perspective on justice in education?
- Can you discuss your personal practices concerning justice?
- How do your personal identities relate to your views on justice in education?
