I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ascend Learning
Interview
The interview process was a bit extensive, but as to be expected. First there is an online application with essays, CV, and resume. Then there is a 30 minute phone interview. If you make it past the phone interview, you move onto an in person interview.

Question 1
Based on your past experiences, why are you the right candidate for this role?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Ascend Learning (New York, NY) in Mar 2019
Interview
After an initial phone interview they elected to continue the process, at which time they sent me an email requesting I send in a lesson plan for a 30 minute sample lesson to be delivered the day of the in person interview.
I had to pay my way to the interview site in NYC - they would reimburse me only up to 200.00. The in person interview began with an analysis of my lesson plan, followed by my lesson - they introduced me and I had to take it away from there.
After that, there is a lesson debrief which feels primarily like cognitive coaching.
