I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Plato Academy (Seminole, FL) in Aug 2023
Interview
3 on 1 interview with Principal, AP, and guidance. They were nervous about hiring someone with a gap on resume, as their current SS teacher is a 20 year vet that’s leaving. They talked badly about this candidate and made it seem as if the teacher was at fault for leaving their contract early. Lots of guilt and red flags mentioned during the interview, that the admins didn’t seem troubled with. They asked me to complete a full lesson plan and demo the lesson for a full classroom, without pay. Another red flag.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What classroom mgmt strategies do you use? What would your classroom look like if we walked in? Are you ok with being censored in class, about curriculum(off the script/record answer). What passions of yours could get you into trouble in class, such as protesting? Lots of insinuation about politics affecting the role.
multi step: phone, in person, lesson with kids, final interview
They want to hire the best of the best so it can be intimidating, but just be yourself and be confident.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Plato Academy (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2018
Interview
Quick and very satisfactory response and candid and complete questioning and job details. My conversation with Plato gave me all the information I needed to make my consideration. Plato was clear and forthcoming with position details.
