      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Achievement First (New York, NY) in Jun 2019

      Interview

      It was like an interrogation. They were so militant. It was like rehearsing for a play and they were giving me line readings for the performance. Who I was didn’t matter. It could’ve been anybody. They just want someone who is easily molded into one of their robots.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Achievement First (Providence, RI)

      Interview

      There were several rounds of the interview process. First was phone interview with recruiter, followed by an offer to tour the building and observe a class. Once I was past this, I had to then go in for a half day interview that included a classroom observation, teaching a mini lesson, debriefing the lesson with interview committee, and a final interview that felt more like a normal interview.

      I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Achievement First (Hartford, CT) in May 2021

      Interview

      There were three people on the call, the recruiter, principle, and another special education teacher. They rotated who asked the questions. Then they practice using Taxonomy. It is a way of using firm instruction.
