Application Process
PHONE INTERVIEW: Selected applicants will participate in a first round phone interview with our Talent Recruiter. This is a chance for us to learn more about you, explore how your past experiences are a fit for the school, and explain more about the position.
ZOOM INTERVIEW: Selected applicants will be invited to meet with Talent Recruiter to discuss real life joys and challenges that come with being a part of the Kauffman School team. This involves reading a pre-work email and watching a few videos to get an idea of our school culture and systems. In the zoom call, we will discuss mission, coaching, feedback, and systems more in depth, as well as a typical day for a Kauffman staff member. In some cases, we will invite you to participate in reviewing a lesson plan or engaging in a coaching session to get a feel for these particular skills that come with the job. This way, applicants are able to connect with staff and understand vital parts of the role prior to engaging in a final interview.
FINAL INTERVIEW: Selected applicants will be invited to participate in a final interview with our team. For instructional positions, candidates will teach a sample lesson at the Kauffman School and debrief with our Talent Team or Principals. We’ll be looking for your ability to prepare for and execute a lesson, your use of classroom management techniques, and your general teaching persona. Additionally, instructional candidates will engage in an academic coaching session with our team. For network team positions, a final interview day will allow you to engage in a variety of tasks, meetings and focused conversations for you to see the components of a role.
REFERENCE CHECKS: On the online application you will be asked to submit three references. We will notify you before we contact your references.
Note regarding the interview process: The interview process outlined above represents a typical interview process. The process may vary due to factors including (but not limited to) candidate background/experience and type of position.
