Interview
Interview with principal was cool. He was a down to earth guy and made me feel comfortable. He didn't have much to ask about what I can do but rather what he can do to make sure I am successful working under him.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Center City PCS (Washington, DC) in Aug 2018
Interview
Very straight forward. Principle and VP and you to explain who you are and what you'd like to do. Ask how you would feel about specific grade levels, getting a feel for where they should place you.
I applied online. I interviewed at Center City PCS (Washington, DC) in Apr 2014
Interview
I received an email to interview with the principal and admin team. I was asked to come in with a lesson prepared for any grade level, even though I applied for a very specific grade level. I was walked into a classroom and was asked to teach my lesson to students I'd never seen before or had any background knowledge of. After the 30 minute lesson, I was taken by the admin to receive my score and feedback as well as asked questions about classroom management, work experience, etc. Having worked in functioning school districts, I felt this was inappropriate to put me in front of people's children when they did not know who I was and I was only there for 30 mins. This is disruptive to a child's day. I can only imagine how many other applicants disrupted the students learning.
