It was fair and quick. There were two parts to it. First, a written part and then an online interview. Usually, 2-3 Principals or a vice principal will interview you. The online interview is about 15-45 min long, but they tell you to answer the questions in 1-3 min.

It was well arranged and very informative. Started with questions about me and then my classroom experience. The first interview was written. Then once accepted, they call for an in person interview. Had a Zoom interview with a principal and vice-principal, one asked questions and the other took notes. Both were friendly and made the experience feel safe and comfortable. They asked 5 questions in total and then at the end, they provided time for my questions. They gave positive affirmation and support after each question.

Technical Presentation
Before the online interview, there was a written test. I had 25 minutes to answer a question online. The question was about the de-escalation model used in YRDSB, which aims to reduce anxiety and risky behavior. I was asked to explain how I would collaborate with all stakeholders to plan a de-escalation process and set goals to support students, their peers, and staff, detailing the specific steps and actions involved.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Considering the YRDSB's de-escalation model, which focuses on reducing anxiety and defensive behaviors to prevent risk behaviors, how would you collaboratively plan a de-escalation process and establish goals for improvement with all stakeholders to support the student, their peers, and staff? Please outline the explicit steps and actions you would take.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview experience was a bit disorganized, and there was a significant wait time. It started with standard interview questions from two interviewers, and I found it helpful that the questions were provided in writing. However, be ready for a timed task where you need to create a full lesson plan. You'll be given a topic and must clearly outline the CLB levels, the activities for the lesson, and the lesson's flow.

- Regarding accommodating different learner types, how would you approach that?
