      Teacher Interview

      21 Mar 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New Haven, CT
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Achievement First (New Haven, CT) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      The process was very fast and efficient. First a phone screen with a recruiter (casual, just to gauge interest and ask questions), and then an interview and teaching demo. This could be just this particular principal, but the interview process was very antagonistic and hostile. The principal appeared friendly at first, but seemed to be trying to "catch me" on something the entire time. Questions came a mile a minute, and if the principal did not agree with my answers, he made it clear. Not a pleasant interview experience. Declined the offer due to information that came to light through research of that particular school (Amistad High School in New Haven). That principal had just been suspended a year prior due to faking suspension statistics. If you are interviewing for the New Haven locations, make sure to do your research, and consider whether you feel ok working for an organization with more scandals than can be counted in the past few years.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Achievement First (Providence, RI)

      Interview

      The interview process seemed to be quite simple and straight forward. I spoke with a recruiter after I applied and did a phone interview with them before setting up an interview for in person with the principal. The entire process was pretty straight forward and explained prior to the in person interview.
