I applied online. I interviewed at DSST Public Schools (Denver, CO) in Apr 2013
Interview
Fill out application online, then advance to writing essays, then advance to a phone interview, then advance to a sample lesson in the building, followed by an in-person interview. It was very thorough but that helped me see how serious DSST is about hiring great people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked a lot about culture: how would I impact school culture.
Waste of time. Recruiter wanted to do an interview, and then preceded to tell me that I would not get the job at all. I wish they rejected me instead of having me waste my time.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DSST Public Schools (Denver, CO) in Mar 2025
Interview
Very straightforward process. I enjoyed it and learned a lot about the organization. Clearly, they care a lot about the students they serve. I did not decide to move forward due to another offer.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DSST Public Schools (Denver, CO) in Jun 2023
Interview
They used a bait and switch style. I had an interview at the white school in Wash Park, that boasts an archery team. When I followed up I was told that the white school actually didn't need a teacher for that position at all. But there was a position and this other school out by the airport. Additionally I was lied to about the work responsibilities in the interview, I was told I had two plan periods a day but this is false due to having to watch a bathroom one a day on one of my plan periods.

Question 1
If I was racist and if I understood what it meant to be a white male.
