Teach for America Teacher Interview

Posted Jan 19, 2013

No Offer – Interviewed in Washington, DC (US) Nov 2012 – Reviewed Jan 19, 2013

Interview Details The entire process is pretty straightforward. TFA doesn't have a set quota because there is such a lack of teachers so they will hire anyone that meets what they're looking for. You must respond to questions with TFA's values in mind. In the final interview, you have to teach a very short lesson, discuss a scenario with your group, and have a one-on-one interview with one of the interviewers (there were two). Everyone was very honest and friendly.

Interview Question – One of the interviewers asked me a content-based question during my lesson that I found a bit tough to answer.   Answer Question

Other Details - I applied online and the process took 6+ weeks.
