      Teacher In Residence Interview

      Jan 28, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Hartford, CT
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Achievement First (Hartford, CT) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      I received an email from Achievement First to schedule a phone interview, along with some bullet points of what to expect in the interview. They will most likely have you check out the website and read an article. The interviewer was pleasant although very obvious we’re mostly focused on finding individuals from diverse backgrounds. Be prepared to have a very good reason why you want to work in a diverse environment.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Our staff and students are from very diverse backgrounds why do you want to work here at Acheievement First?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Achievement First

      Interview

      There’s an initial phone call that is first part of the interview, and then you complete the second part of the application where you answer interview questions via video. It’s not live but you record yourself answering the questions within a certain time limit. Afterwards, once you get accepted by the program you get an offer from a school and you do one final interview (supposed to be around 90 minutes with demo lesson, role play, questions about your teaching philosophies/techniques) with the school’s administration.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Achievement First (Providence, RI) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      After submitting your resume and answering some questions you're asked to complete a video interview. If you're moved forward, you have a short phone interview before being moved onto the finalist steps. Before the finalist interview, there's a finalist prep day so that you're prepared for the final interview. In the final interview, you're asked to teach a 5-10 minute lesson plan to the interviewers.
