Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Challenger School (San Jose, CA) nel mese di feb 2022
Colloquio
I wrote an essay on the topic of why educational success is on the decline in America. Then I went in for a second interview where I had to teach 15 minutes of a third grade math class and talk with the head master and the educational director.

They asked me about my essay. One of them kept asking me more and more questions with a funny look on her face. She kept telling me that she didn't understand what I was talking about. She was arguing with me over a stance on whether collectivism and individualism have an impact on education. I explained that I took a class in college on that very topic and found it interesting. She looked at me like she could not even believe that was a thing.
Weird environment! Seems super political. I felt uncomfortable during the interview process. I think they purposely tried to tear down my argument. They really did not ask me many questions about teaching specifically. When they did, they really made it feel like everything I said was wrong..

I applied, and it took 4 weeks until the interview. They are very thorough, and the process takes multiple interviews. They have their own methods and theories and definitely want you to agree with them.

Taking several tests to gage what level you should be teaching at. The school is academically advanced and focuses on children’s independence and is very patriotic. You should filter through more than one interview with the schools directors and then another written test. Testing knowledge of math phonics etc. A week of training during summer is expected for new teachers
