      Teacher At Newark, NJ Uncommon School North Star Academy Interview

      May 28, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Newark, NJ
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Uncommon Schools (Newark, NJ) in May 2018

      Interview

      Waste of time. All day "training" when ones commitment to education should already be evident by attending an all day session without any real interview with anyone... how can you make a decision on hiring someone based on some training exercise without a single student present?

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Training session was given to me and a handful of other prospective candidates... training was not authentic and the two teachers in charge of the training DID NOT CONSISTENLY evaluate each candidate fairly in my opinion. They would critique my presentation and then when the same mistake was made by another candidate they were silent... I wondered why but when I read the other reviews on Glassdoor I realized that all those negative reviews were accurate regarding the UNPROFESSIONALISM of the staff and even the recruiter of the institution... there teaching methods are ridiculous ONE SIZE does not fit all.. you can't teach a group of high school students the same way you would teach grades 1-6... BE ADVISED AND DON'T waste your time with and money with them... yes all prospexful candidates had to pay $13 dollars for all day parking at an all day training event where you don't even get a chance to interview in the end anyway... it's a waste of time so beware and do yourself a favor... find another Academy/Institution
