I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Success Academy Charter Schools (New York, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview opened emphasizing the necessity of using time wisely, and dove into the interview asking about how strict my teachers were in my K-12 education. She then had me roleplay a scenario in which I had to discipline a student for talking, and decribed the schools' "consequence" disciplinary system. She corrected my answers until I was being verbally aggressive to the hypotehtical student. The interviewer didn't ask about my education or experience, it was exclusively about discipline; I was clearly uncomfortable and the interviewer asked if I could handle the classroom disciplinary policies, in which I told her I was not interesting in speaking to children like she had instructed. She closed my application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was the demeanor of your teachers growing up? Were they strict or more lenient?
A lot about willingness to discipline, how you grew up, adaptability, etc. Also stuff on what my educational experience was like (strict or not strict)? Also mock roleplay about disciplining a kid

I received a random message on LinkedIn from a recruiter. We had a call where they went over interview prep and scheduled the meeting. They asked pretty standard questions. Teaching experience, why teaching and why this specific academy, a time where you dealt with a difficult situation or person, how do you take constructive criticism then a simulated situation where they give you a scenario about ‘difficult’ parents and kids.
Not bad just a interview with normal amount of questions, I'm not the one who work as teacher that I came from EE background but they give me the interview
