Group Behavioral

It was a group interview over Zoom. They messaged us individually for personal questions and to discuss moral work. Overall it was pretty easy. They started with the basics, then moved on to how to handle a classroom, and finally to moral situation 'what ifs.' At the end, they asked about availability, locations, and benefits.
