I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Achievement First (New York, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
i had to do a demo lesson 30 min.When you interview for a teaching job, you may be expected to interview with a variety of different constituents. You could interview with a panel, which could include the school principal, administrative staff, other teachers, and parents. Or, the interview could be with a search committee charged with screening applicants prior to a formal interview for the job.
You might also be asked to teach a mini lesson to a group of students, or teachers pretending to be students, during your interview. Be sure that you know exactly what you need to prepare for each interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at Achievement First
Interview
The process was really intense. Several meetings, some remote and a day long process in-person in addition to a model lesson with live coaching. I interviewed with several school and org leaders simultaneously and was asked to participate in role plays and simulations. I disagreed with the approach/advice of some of the school and org leaders which was good for me to learn during that point as job interviews are about overall compatibility.
