"Schools are looking for language arts teachers who can put together engaging lessons that will effectively expand students' reading comprehension and English skills. In an interview, be prepared to answer questions about your teaching style, classroom management skills, and how you would offer support to students of different learning levels. Before applying, make sure you've obtained your state's teaching credentials."
A committee of four people did two rounds of detailed questions and sub-questions one by one. Some questions were too general, not limited enough. No matter how much was responded, it seemed it was never enough for the committee. A courtesy e mail was never received on the decision. The school makes it look like if there were no issues, but some were observed while waiting at the reception. They seem to be searching for the perfect responses or specific key terminology, if not you are rejected.
