I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Teach for America (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
The hiring process included a written application, phone interview, online activity, and in person final interview. The final interview included the presentation of a 5 minute lesson plan with 1 minute of prep time. I saw many people go over their prep time and then go on to not finish their lesson in the remaining time. They had a struct cut off at the end of the 5 minutes.

Question 1
What did you take away from the most challenging course you've taken and what did it teach you about how you would like to run your classroom?
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Teach for America (Philadelphia, PA) in Dec 2024
Interview
The interview was very different from most interviews but I was definitely well-prepared with the resources that TFA had offered in preparation. My interviewer was very nice and it often felt like a conversation between us about whatever question was asked which was nice.

Question 1
Why do you want to be a part of Teach For America?
I applied online. I interviewed at Teach for America (Ithaca, NY) in Oct 2024
Interview
The interview started with a mock lesson and case study, followed by questions about me and my interest in the position. I prepared slides to present to the interviewer and shared my screen.
You had to complete a demo in front of other candidates as well as recruiters. The demo itself was short and you had flexibility in what you “taught” for your lesson.
