Teach for America Teacher Interview

No Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2010 – Reviewed Aug 19, 2010

Interview Details – 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.

Interview Question – Can you think of a reason why you would leave Teach for America before your two years were up.   View Answer
