I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uncommon Schools in Apr 2014
Interview
I applied online and heard back a few days later for a phone interview with a recruiter. The questions were pretty simple, nothing difficult. The recruiter was super friendly and pleasant to speak to. A couple of days later I received a follow up email for an in person interview at one of their schools. When I got there I met the office staff & got a quick tour. Everyone seemed pretty pleasant. The work environment came off as a little intimidating. The actual interview consisted of intense role playing, admin tasks (draft memo, Excel spreadsheet), and classroom observations. After completing all tasks, there was a quick follow up to go over everything & ask further questions.

Role playing questions: dealing with angry parents and upset children
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Uncommon Schools (Brooklyn, NY) in Mar 2014
Interview
Overall, the interview process was long. The process hearing back for a phone interview took over a week. The process for then an on-site interview was drawn out as well. After interviewing during an Immersion Day, aka a 3 hour long process with 3 other candidates, I did not hear back for over 2 weeks. Once I heard I was being called in for another interview with a specific school, I was left hanging for another week to eventually being turned down for the position because they couldn't make the time to interview (or so it seemed). However, the staff I met and interviewed with were extremely friendly and the Immersion Day was overall a great experience for an interview. It involved a panel interview as well as a tour of the school and a few tasks that would be evaluated. It was definitely a good experience getting to know the network, but I did feel short changed at the end of the experience. I would have much rather just been told off the bat that I was not going to be considered further.

Role playing questions, such as if a child has been late to school more than the acceptable amount and the father argues that the child was not late and that the policy is ridiculous, how do you handle the conversation?
