I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Uncommon Schools (New York, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
After taking a brief tour of the school you will set up to complete a 30 minute demo lesson. They are very accommodating and will provide you with electronic devices if needed. Next we debriefed the lesson and used the student work to talk about data. They send you a rubric ahead of time. They then have you spend 40 minutes observing classes and then part 2 of interview questions. I was there from 9:30 to 1:45.
