Question 1
Why do you care about closing the achievement gap?
I interviewed at Achievement First (Providence, RI)
Interview
The interview process seemed to be quite simple and straight forward. I spoke with a recruiter after I applied and did a phone interview with them before setting up an interview for in person with the principal. The entire process was pretty straight forward and explained prior to the in person interview.

Question 1
They asked how I create a welcoming environment for all cultures and people.
Smooth on location lesson demo feedback on lesson plans could be a little bit faster with the response and picking date for interview
Staff seems nice
It was an average teacher interview review your résumé go over your lesson demo and then that's when they decide if they're going to offer you an offer letter
Phone call and then an in person demo lesson with real students and in the moment feedback. Usually a reading lesson or science lesson. Be ready to implement feedback in the moment and take direction from leadership
