I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America (Norman, OK) in Apr 2017
Interview
The interview process had prework that needed to be done, so I suggest doing that! It was a very extensive interview and took about 2 and a half hours since it was a group interview. I would suggest not to "one-up" the other interviewees because it is obvious and they notice. Also, don't stress about the 5 minutes teach, just choose something you feel comfortable "teaching" others.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
