I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Teach for America (Boston, MA) in Oct 2011
Interview
-Initial application -- essay, background questions
-Phone interview -- focus on achievement gap and if they think you'll stay in education for longer than the two years. More likely to choose people who are
-Person interview -- one on one, group interview activity, sample teaching lesson. Prepare something you know well

Question 1
Focused on if you know what the achievement gap is
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.

Question 1
Why do you want to be a part of Teach For America?
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.
