The interview process was pretty straightforward: I attended a job fair, made contact with a school representative, and arranged an interview. Following that, I had an interview with a group of school employees and got an offer on the same day.

Behavioral
I interviewed at an IB middle school with the principal, assistant principal, IB coordinator and curriculum coordinator. They told me it was a 6th grade, self-contained classroom role teaching the general education population. They asked about my prior classroom experiences, my grasp of the core curriculum, and how I incorporate technology into my lesson plans. They also inquired about my past job attendance and if commuting distance would be an issue. I got a school tour and an immediate job offer. They gave me a written offer to start the employment process.
