      Teacher-In-Residence Interview

      Dec 18, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Achievement First (New York, NY) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      After submitting my resume, I recieved an email the next morning to complete Part II of the application. The following day, I recieved another email to do a phone interview with someone in the recruitment team. They give you questions to look over and reflect, which was very helpful. The phone interview was easygoing, more like a conversation. She told me all the information about the position, and said that I made to the final interview stage, which consisted of touring the school, give a demo lesson to the students, and meet with the dean and the principal of the school. A few days later , I was in contact with the recruiter at the school. She gave me all of the information about the school and the lesson plan that I will be teaching on my finalist day. The finalist interview can be a little crazy and can seem a long time for an interview (about 3-4 hours), but it gives you the sense of what the job entails to see if you like it. The faculty and staff were very nice and welcoming, and I felt very comfortable. A few days after my finalist interview, I recieved a call to come back to the school and observe classes, and have lunch with the dean and the faculty. It a positive experience to see almost everyone and ask questions about the job. About a week later, I got a call from the dean and he offered me the position! The interview process might seem long, but it was only about 3 weeks. They did not leave me hanging with anything and they responded to all of my questions with all the information that I needed

      I interviewed at Achievement First

      Interview

      There’s an initial phone call that is first part of the interview, and then you complete the second part of the application where you answer interview questions via video. It’s not live but you record yourself answering the questions within a certain time limit. Afterwards, once you get accepted by the program you get an offer from a school and you do one final interview (supposed to be around 90 minutes with demo lesson, role play, questions about your teaching philosophies/techniques) with the school’s administration.

      The process was very organized and timely. It was a very professional process. They were clear on their expectations for the interview process. At the beginning of the interview I was able to present my demo lesson and received quality feedback.

      I applied online. I interviewed at Achievement First (Providence, RI) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      After submitting your resume and answering some questions you're asked to complete a video interview. If you're moved forward, you have a short phone interview before being moved onto the finalist steps. Before the finalist interview, there's a finalist prep day so that you're prepared for the final interview. In the final interview, you're asked to teach a 5-10 minute lesson plan to the interviewers.
