I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Goddard School (Silver Spring, MD) in Jan 2017
Interview
I applied through Indeed and was sent a list of questions via email by the director prior to being invited for an interview. The questions involved what role I wanted to apply for and my teaching philosophy and experience. I was invited for an in person interview with the director. It was formal but a comfortable, friendly environment. I was asked about my teaching philosophy, early childhood courses I had taken, and how I would deal with different situations in the classroom. I was then taken for a brief tour.
I got asked a variety of situational questions and about my experience before being given a tour of the facilities. It was very standard and I felt comfortable talking about everything, I got a few details about benefits and perks.

It was about an hour with a lot of in depth questions that you have to kind of be prepared for. Also I didn’t originally interview for lead teacher but they offered me that job title which is a step down from what I was interviewing for.
