Phone screen followed by an in-person interview with the Director, Assistant Director and someone from the organization's main office. There were lots of questions about my teaching philosophy and approach to classroom management and curriculum. It was a very comfortable interview that felt more like a conversation than an interview.
Asked the typical questions, a lot easier if you have all the required trainings up to date. Sat down with the administrators of the location and was hired on the spot. Easy to talk to and very friendly.
