Question 1
How did you deal with a particular challenging behavior of children with disabilities?
Great and very easy going. Loved that they understood a lot of my past experience and worked with me through answering some difficult questions. They would break down questions when I did not understand them.
Online interview with ten canned questions, asked by team members and administrator. Very apparent everyone is reading off a screen, and seemed rather unengaged. Questions were similar to nearby school districts.

Question 1
Tell us about yourself, bring your resume to life.
The interview process was organized and effective. The interviewer was professional and prepared. The atmosphere was kind and comfortable. It was not overly long and redundant. I walked away feeling satisfied.
