I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America in Jan 2022
Interview
A lot of prep work, however, make you feel very prepared and confident leading up to the interview. The process is very time-consuming but TFA is very accommodating. You need to prepare a 5 minute lesson plan to present during the interview.

Question 1
Why do you want to be a part of Teach for America?
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Philadelphia, PA) in Dec 2024
Interview
The interview was very different from most interviews but I was definitely well-prepared with the resources that TFA had offered in preparation. My interviewer was very nice and it often felt like a conversation between us about whatever question was asked which was nice.

Question 1
Why do you want to be a part of Teach For America?
I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America (Ithaca, NY) in Oct 2024
Interview
The interview started with a mock lesson and case study, followed by questions about me and my interest in the position. I prepared slides to present to the interviewer and shared my screen.
You had to complete a demo in front of other candidates as well as recruiters. The demo itself was short and you had flexibility in what you “taught” for your lesson.
