I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America in Mar 2018
Interview
The video interview consisted of a brief introduction followed by a 5 minute lesson plan taught by each (10) interviewee. After this was the group activity where all interviewees had to work together to choose the best solution to a problem that the interviewers presented. During this process the interviewers observed the interactions, took notes, and did not participate. The activity was timed and after group activity, everyone signed up for their interview time. The one on one interview lasted about 40 mins.

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.

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.
