The initial recruiter chat was pretty standard, mostly covering my background, credentials, and experience within the public school system. I was also asked to do a role-play, which was unexpected. The principal conducted the final interview, and based on our conversation, it appears they have a very strict disciplinary approach, which I don't personally agree with.

Behavioral Presentation
This interview process has two rounds. First, you'll talk to a recruiter. Then, you'll meet with the assistant principal. They'll ask about your education, then some behavioral questions like when you failed, how you take criticism, and if you're okay with punishing kids. The last part is a role-play to make kids stop talking, and they want you to just say 'Stop talking' directly.

Behavioral Other
It was a two-round interview process. The first round was a 30-minute call with the recruiter where we discussed my resume, experience, and some of my thoughts on education. The second round involved a short video interview with two behavioral questions. I could re-record it as many times as I wanted. I wasn't very motivated for the position, so I don't think I did well on this one. Even though I didn't get an offer, I'm grateful for the interview opportunity, as it's really valuable for a new graduate.
