The interview day brings together approximately 12 applicants and two Teach For America interviewers. The group convenes in the morning for a variety of activities. First, each applicant leads a five-minute teaching session that s/he plans in advance for a grade level of his/her choice, while other applicants participate as students. Applicants also engage in a group discussion, complete a problem solving activity, and reflect on a topic in writing. In the afternoon, each applicant participates in a 30-45 minute personal interview with one of the interviewers.
