I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Boston, MA) in May 2018
Interview
Group interview held in their office (Boston) with 5 other candidates. Start the group interview with a mock teaching exercise. They explain the guidelines (1 minute for prep, 5 minutes of teaching). Randomly assigned order in which each candidate does their mock exercise. While you are teaching, interviewers can throw random questions at you (simulating kids in a classroom) and they will see how you respond. After that, there is a group activity where they read you scenarios, and as a group you must discuss and then decide the best option. Finally, there is a one-on-one interview, which was pretty straightforward.
The interview was relaxed and they were certainly there to help. They made it clear they would help you through the whole process of becoming a teacher with your own mentor guiding you.
easy and fun, lots of help through the process. Very helpful and kind, lots of responsiveness. everyone has a clear vision of the mission, and wants to achieve it. Loved it.
