First you submit application online. Then, submit teaching sample video so they can see your style and how you interact with kids. Phone interview to make sure your philosophy is compatible with KIPP values. In-person teaching of a lesson and interview at the job site. I taught a full lesson in front of multiple staff members as well as a regular class of students. Received a job offer via email within a week.

I actually had a Lunch Interview. It was very conversational and was thoroughly enjoyable. It seems like a really cohesive team and that they actually really like each other. I didn't feel pressured...only that they were genuinely interested in me as a candidate. The initial Phone Interview was really thorough. So, when I came out I think it was a matter of how well I actually fit with the team. As previously stated, I got pretty warm vibes from everyone. I sat in on a few classrooms and had some pretty candid conversations with teachers and students. I liked the transparency.
