Interview
Be prepared for a tedious and time-consuming process. I felt like the team wasn't interested in knowing me as a person at all and just wanted to know what I could do. That's fine and understandable to some extent, but literally no one even asked me to tell me about myself during the interview which was weird. Started off with a 2:15 min task, in which you had to design a math sequence, and write an ELA article/questions. Passed that and came in for 3 hour interview. Had to analyze usage data, design a math sequence for middle school and design a social studies unit when given a topic.

Interview
I interviewed for this position last spring, and again this spring. From start to finish, the process was absolutely terrible both times. There is no phone call or video interview. Instead you're made to complete performance tasks that have gotten even lengthier since I last interviewed, despite being very similar. In the first round, I had to read a student article and critique it. Freckle got back to me and told me I'd be moving onto the next round, a timed 90 minute performance task. I had to write an additional grade level paragraph to tack onto the article from the first assessment. Then, I had to write follow up questions, as well as two Math DOK questions. This work was grueling, and to make matters worse I got a nasty rejection, "We were looking for _________, and we didn't see that in your responses. We wanted you to be ________ in your answers and you weren't." Never again! Don't waste your time.

Question 1
They didn't ask me anything. There was no phone screen or video interview. Instead, I had to complete two performance tasks...reviewing an article, adding a section to the article, writing standards aligned questions, and writing depth of knowledge Math questions.

Interview
I participated in two rounds of an "interview" process, although I never actually spoke with anyone at the company. All communication was via email that was written to a group of applicants. For the first round, I was asked to read a leveled Social Studies passage and offer written feedback about that passage for a certain grade level (strengths, areas of improvement, suggestions). For the second round, I was given 90 minutes to complete a revision of a text that was appropriate for a particular grade level/reading level, write comprehension questions that are aligned to curriculum and Common Core standards, and write a series of Math questions that were based on "Depth of Knowledge" and increased in difficulty. It was challenging for me to complete this within 90 minutes, as I wanted to submit quality work that was pedagogically sound. I was not asked to continue to the next phase of the interview (which was a panel, or "team", interview).

I was not asked interview questions; instead, I had to submit work samples.
