Below is an Overview of the Steps in our Process.

 

Screening of Applicants – This step includes a review of applications and resumes received for the purpose of

identifying candidates to interview for available positions.

 

Screening Interviews – This step consists of a 10 to 15 minute interview designed to assess basic knowledge and

decision-making skills. There may be one or multiple interviewers depending on various circumstances. Successful

candidates are identified for movement to the next step in the process.

 

In-depth Interviews – This usually consists of a 20 minute interview that seeks to uncover deeper levels of

knowledge and decision-making than the screening interview.  Successful candidates move to the next level of the process, the Demonstration Lesson.

 

Demonstration Lesson – This is an opportunity for candidates to demonstrate their abilities to deliver what they

discuss in their interviews.

 

Other Steps – After candidates complete steps outlined above, we continuously review the successful candidate

pool in comparison to position availability. As we get closer to making final decisions, we prepare for

recommendations to our director by completing reference checks.
