The interview process is multiple stages: Resume submission, essay, sample lesson, group activity, and one-on-one. I did a reasonable amount of preparation for the latter three components and would recommend others do the same. Time your sample lesson and don't overcomplicate things. It's far better to choose a very, very simple concept and do it well than something overly complicated and do it poorly. It was clear who did and did not rehearse beforehand. TFA provides a lot of "suggested reading" or guides for the interview process. This can cover anything from information about initiatives started by previous alums or how to work their video chat system. Again, it was clear who did and did not take the time to read this material and prepare.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The majority of the questions are behavioral/hypothetical situation questions rather than directed at specific policy or teaching theory.
Very short online submission. I am just doing this review so I am able to see other reviews, salaries, etc. I haven't heard the best things about it but I would like to see what others think.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Gainesville, FL) in Apr 2018
Interview
The interview lasted pretty much the whole day. We started with the 5 minute presentations (no extra time was allowed for anyone). We then split into two groups to come up with a solution to a given problem. The interviewers listened into the group discussions and watched how we came to a solution. There was no right or wrong answer. After this, we got a break and scheduled our individual interviews. These lasted about 45 minutes, and the interviewers were very easy to talk to.
