      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KIPP Schools in Feb 2019

      Interview

      I applied to jobs at several different KIPP schools, all of which have similar steps in the application process. Some of them have you do a recorded video interview first (where you record your answers for the camera and send them in) and some of them skip that and require a phone interview with an actual person. If you make it past that round you send in a video of yourself teaching in a classroom and then (assuming they like it) receive an invitation to fly out to their school. The fly-out is required for the interview process but there is no financial assistance. Once there, you tour the campus and have several interviews with various administration members before teaching a short practice lesson in front of the hiring team. I think the most important thing is to demonstrate commitment to their goals and to ending educational inequity.
