I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tapestry Public Charter School (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2021
Interview
The interview process was fine. It consisted of an interview with the head counselor and principal and phase 2 was a classroom guidance lesson with a small group of students. The initial interview was just questions pulled from the ASCA website and a portion where you could ask your own questions about the school. There weren't really any parameters set for the classroom guidance lesson. In the past, I've been told a time limit or a grade level so that I could prepare my lesson. I didn't receive that here without asking. The communication also wasn't something I was used to. The entire process was arranged through email with no point of contact or listed contact information. There was no phone interaction and no real assurance that if you emailed anyone, that they would email you back. After my lesson I also had to ask for feedback.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tapestry Public Charter School (Atlanta, GA) in July 2016
Interview
Ok but not informative as to what the job would include. Much more involved students than I expected Had a panel and then did a model lesson. Learned quickly that much more demands were necessary
I saw the listing online and sent my resume and cover letter to HR. I was contacted within a few days by phone for a screening interview (about 20 mins long, basic questions about experience, interest, etc.). At the end of the screening, we scheduled a face-to-face interview later in the week. This interview was with the principal, another teacher and the HR representative. At the end of this interview, I was scheduled for a demo lesson the following week. I taught a full class and was reviewed by principal and another teacher. Students also completed feedback comment cards. After the demo lesson, I had a reflection session with the principal to talk about strengths/weaknesses of lesson and how it fit into a larger unit plan.
