I applied online. I interviewed at Achievement First (Brooklyn, NY) in Feb 2021
Interview
One video interview, where you were asked questions for the recruiter to get to know you, second phone call interview (not really an interview, more so the recruiter telling you that you made it to the finalist interview and what to expect, and get a feel as to which school you would fit in the best. Finalist interview is with the principal and recruiter, similar interview questions to the first interview questions, along with watching a video and answering some questions on the video! Most of the questions were to get to know me as a person to see if I was a good fit for AF!

Question 1
How would I go about correcting a higher up, when they continue to make a mistake pronouncing a students name?
There’s an initial phone call that is first part of the interview, and then you complete the second part of the application where you answer interview questions via video. It’s not live but you record yourself answering the questions within a certain time limit. Afterwards, once you get accepted by the program you get an offer from a school and you do one final interview (supposed to be around 90 minutes with demo lesson, role play, questions about your teaching philosophies/techniques) with the school’s administration.
