Question 1
What do you know about the school and organization?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KIPP Schools (Houston, TX) in Apr 2015
Interview
I applied online and within two days I was contacted by a recruiter via email and asked to do an online/video recorded interview -- which I had 5 days to complete.
I was told within 3 business days after my online video that I would be contacted in a week. A week turned into two, in which I guess they weren't interested as I received a "Thank you BUT no thank you..we wish you the best" email. It wasn't too disappointing as it wasn't my first choice.

Question 1
Please demonstrate in your teacher "character" how you would tell your class to do what is expected when they walk in the classroom talking. Please model how you would "correct" their behavior.
