The Teach For America final interview is a unique experience that requires applicants to prepare differently than for a traditional interview. Find the main components of the interview experience below with context on what to expect from your interviewer during that time.

• Sample Lesson: During your sample lesson, your interviewer will engage with you by participating as a student. Plan to teach your lesson directly to your interviewer rather than walk them through the lesson as if they were a peer.
• Case Activity: While you will prepare this proposal as a scenario to share with a principal, you will present your thoughts to your interviewer as themselves (this is not a role play). Your interviewer may introduce a new piece of evidence and ask follow up questions during your discussion.
• 1:1 Interview: The final part of the interview resembles a more traditional Q&A interview conversation. During this time, you should plan to also engage with your interview as themselves as you respond to questions.
