I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Achievement First (Brooklyn, NY) in May 2019
Interview
I had a phone interview and was then invited for a finalist/in person interview and demo day. Leading up to the demo day they provided me with a lesson plan template, and model lesson plan and a list of specific standards I could focus my lesson on. The week prior to the interview I spoke on the phone with someone in HR; they walked me through what my finalist day would look like and gave me feedback on the lesson. The day of the lesson I had a tour and had time to walk around the school and observe in classrooms before my interview/demo lesson. Throughout the entire process I felt very supported and I felt as though the staff and interview team was as excited to meet me as I was to meet them.
