The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Teach for America
Interview
Submit application, resume and essay questions. Phone interview. In person interview: full day event with 5 minute mini lesson, round table discussion with other applicants and one-on-one interview. Everything is explained throughout the process. There weren't really any surprises. Practice your mini lesson A LOT to be prepared and perfectly timed to 5 minutes.

Question 1

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.
