The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Teach for America in Feb 2010
Interview
The phone interview gauged if I was a leader and what experience I had at leading people. They asked questions about my past work and education experience. The final round interview was a group interview. There were about a dozen other candidates with me in the room. We all had to present our prepared teaching plan to our peers and the two assessors. Then there was a group activity which guaged how you participate in a group discussion. Then there was a logic test, which centered on fixing problems with a school or education system. Finally there was a one on one interview that was very intense. Asked detailed questions about leadership experience, racism, etc.

The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Teach for America in Apr 2009
Interview
Teach for America likes to see that candidates are strongly analytical thinkers who can work through just about any problem. To that end, you are presented, as a group, with case-based problems and expected to work through them before presenting solutions to the rest of the group in the room, including the interviewers. This isn't difficult, but you should certainly work to ensure that you're noticed.
