I applied online. I interviewed at K12 in Dec 2020
Interview
I had to choose between two lessons (math or ELA), evaluate then upload a YouTube video of me speaking as if directly to the teacher for feedback. Then I was asked two timed questions and four written.
Interview questions [6]
Question 1
Describe and provide examples of realistic but ambitious student achievement goals. Do they vary based on your schools’ student population?
What have you found to be the greatest obstacle in reaching your goal of increasing student achievement while closing the achievement gap? How do you discuss this with your teaching staff and school community?
Tell about an experience that did not go the way that you planned. Please describe what you learned and how you would approach that same situation differently in the future.
How often do you observe classroom instruction and what steps have you enacted to protect that time? Describe what you look for in a strong lesson and how you provide feedback to teachers?
If you were going to lead the professional development program at a virtual school, what vital factors should be considered and how would you share the plan with the school community?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at K12
Interview
First I had to answer four extensive questions in a written format to pre-screen for an interview. Next, during a screening interview, I met with four individuals by phone during a tag-team session. During the final interview round I met with two individuals in person at the site where I applied. The questions from both interviews were identical. At the end of the process, despite the hours I spent speaking with staff, writing responses, and preparing to meet, the only courtesy the company afforded me was an automated email that stated, "We regret to inform you the position has been filled." It did NOT state any appreciation for my time or effort, any reference to keeping my resume on file for future openings despite being a final round candidate, or any kind of personalized message indicating that they had met and spoke with me personally -- it was robotic. I was also never contacted by any sort of human resources individual or recruiter from the company, so I had no one to speak to update me on progress or answer questions. It was a very cold and impersonal process; I found the person-to-person contact to be canned and the final contact to be unprofessional. Furthermore, there was a discrepancy in position revealed during the process where high-level management defined the position in a completely different way than mid-level management. Frankly put, the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing. I would not choose to apply to this organization again.
