I applied online. I interviewed at DC Public Schools (Washington, DC) in Mar 2016
Interview
Interviews are done as a group of about 7-10 people. Each interviewee was asked to come prepared with a lesson to teach the group and be observed. Each person was given about 10 minutes to conduct their lesson to the group. Lessons conducted by the interviewees in my grouped varied from lessons on simple arithmetic, to how a bill is passed through government. Each interviewee was expected to bring any and all materials needed to conduct their lesson, if any. I taught a short lesson on observing negative space and brought paper, pencils, and an old shoe from my car for everyone to draw. Others brought mock worksheets or diagrams. Once everyone in the group was finished conducting their lesson, the interview was over. No one-on-one questions were asked.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No one-on-one questions were asked, the mock lesson is the only part of the interview you are judged on. You're not expected to actually teach any new to anybody, all of the "lessons" were simple grade school subjects. I think you're mostly observed on how well organized your lesson is, and how you do speaking in front of others. It probably also wouldn't hurt if you interact with everyone during the lesson. Walk around and touch base with everyone in your group, making sure they "understand" the material.
You had to present a lesson in a group setting. It was interactive using visuals and handouts. The others in the group were also being interviewed and presented their lesson.
