I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Achievement First (New York, NY) in Mar 2018
Interview
I was contacted via LinkedIn. A recruiter then called me and we talked about my experience teaching, and what I am looking for in a school. He told me by the end of the phone call that I had been invited to interview at AF to present a model lesson. We set up a call to talk about what to expect and go over my lesson. He gave me some really good feedback (make sure to state clear expectations from the beginning).
The final interview went well. I got a tour of the school from a student, then presented my lesson to the leadership team. They gave me some good feedback that I implemented in my lesson. Afterward, I had to discuss what went well and what I would've done differently in the lesson. Finally, there was a formal interview at the end. I was told that they would be in touch by the end of the week but they called me a couple of hours after the interview to offer me the position.

Smooth on location lesson demo feedback on lesson plans could be a little bit faster with the response and picking date for interview
Staff seems nice
It was an average teacher interview review your résumé go over your lesson demo and then that's when they decide if they're going to offer you an offer letter
Phone call and then an in person demo lesson with real students and in the moment feedback. Usually a reading lesson or science lesson. Be ready to implement feedback in the moment and take direction from leadership
