Application, phone screening, interviews at various schools. Interviewers differed depending upon whether elementary, middle or high school level. Knowledge of skill sets needed for the job. Usual questions, nothing out of the ordinary.

I participated in a panel interview with the principal and two special education teachers. The atmosphere was welcoming, and everyone was friendly, open, and transparent throughout the process. Each panel member asked thoughtful questions and took time to explain the support systems and resources available to help teachers succeed.
