I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Columbus, OH) in Feb 2018
Interview
Intense interview process. It's an "interview day" but most of the process happens in the morning. You'll present a 5-minute lesson to the group of other people who are also interviewing, answer their questions, and listen to all of theirs as well. After lesson-planning, there's a group discussion where the interviewers ask your group to choose between two options regarding a school's operations. After the group interview, you'll sign up for one-on-one interviews that happen after lunch. I signed up for one of the first slots, so I was able to be done around 2pm. The one-on-one is anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Philadelphia, PA) in Dec 2024
Interview
The interview was very different from most interviews but I was definitely well-prepared with the resources that TFA had offered in preparation. My interviewer was very nice and it often felt like a conversation between us about whatever question was asked which was nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to be a part of Teach For America?
I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America (Ithaca, NY) in Oct 2024
Interview
The interview started with a mock lesson and case study, followed by questions about me and my interest in the position. I prepared slides to present to the interviewer and shared my screen.
You had to complete a demo in front of other candidates as well as recruiters. The demo itself was short and you had flexibility in what you “taught” for your lesson.
