I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bentley School (Oakland, CA) in Jul 2022
Interview
The interview process was wonderful and well-organized. People were welcoming and available for additional questions. The process was of a reasonable length, and communication was clear. Overall, it was a positive experience that left me feeling confident and valued as a candidate.

Question 1
They asked me to describe how I support diverse learners and adapt instruction to meet students’ academic and language needs.
A full day of interviews with admin and faculty, observations of my demo lesson, and tour of campus. Faculty were welcoming and respectful. However, I never heard a response of "yes" or "no," which left me feeling disrespected and perplexed.
Very thorough interview process and campus visit. The hiring team communicated quickly and effectively, made sure I was provided with all the material necessary to prepare my on campus interview. All in all a lovely experience.
