The interviewers had absolutely no interest in hearing about my work experience or accomplishments. One, in particular, seemed most interested in asking me about each of my current and former employers and her style of questioning made me feel like she was convinced I was being dishonest and she was trying to catch me in a lie. These two women could not tell me what they were looking for in a candidate, nor could they articulate a clear vision for instruction at their middle schools.
How would you make an ordering fractions problem? How would you represent it?
During the phone screening, I was asked to explain how I would teach the concept of inverse functions.
Asked me to do a brain teaser (mostly to hear me think out loud, I believe)
Phone Screen: -why do you want to work for IXL? -what are some things we can improve on? What did you like? -how would you teach system of equations to an 8th grader? -what do you think an 8th grader would struggle with when learning about a system of equations? -what would an easy problem look like related to a system of equations? -what kind of problem would you write that we don't already have for a system of equations? Written: -given a piecewise function, fix the explanation. -given a third grade Problem on a specific standard, fix the problem and explanation. -pick one of the problems you worked on and list how you would make it more difficult or easier and your rationale. -pick one of the problems and describe how your explanation would change if one of the equations changed.
Can you tell me more about your teaching experience?
How would you define the problem space for solving systems of two linear equations using elimination?
How would you handle sensitive topics such as slavery?
What is one of the most important things an instructor can practice to be effective?
Do you have an entrepreneurial mindset?
