Roland Park Country School interview questions

Three step interview process, all online due to COVID19, with final interview occurring over full day. Final interview consisted of a variety of configurations of "stakeholders" including teaching a group of students, speaking to a group of parents, and groups of faculty and staff from across the school divisions.

Although I live one mile from the campus, the search committee insisted on interviewing me by Skype. It was strange and uncomfortable and not at all conducive to talking naturally. I did not know exactly where to look to have eye contact with them as they were sitting below the camera. I felt I was looking into a empty space! it was not a good interview to show how I taught or what I would do in a normal classroom -- especially not being able to address them in person. I got the impression that they had already decided whom they wanted to hire before the interview. With my degrees and experience and teaching awards, I should have been their choice but I think my age and their preference of someone for other reasons had to have been a factor in their choice.
