I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Achievement First (Brooklyn, NY) in Nov 2017
Interview
Applicants apply online and answer a series of questions regarding the role of education and one's drive for teaching. Then, applicants are given an initial phone interview. Next, applicants go into a school and present a pre-fixed lesson plan to students, followed by a more formal interview. The interview process is rigorous because applicants arrive at 7:15 am, and do not leave until around 10:00 am. It is a full morning of meeting students, teachers, and staff members. While it was difficult, the entire staff is very welcoming and makes the entire process worth while!
