I applied online. I interviewed at Community Roots Charter School
Interview
The interview process felt unnecessarily drawn out. After a lengthy phone screener that went 20 minutes over, I went for an in-person interview. During the interview, the principal was doodling on my resume and interrupted me several times. The teachers in the interview were unfriendly and disengaged.

Interview
Sat down for an interview with the two heads of school. They had a few questions for me and asked me to discuss my teaching through a variety of questions. Minutes into the interview, both leaders were clearly doodling flowers on their paper.
