What happens at a Preliminary Assessment Interview Day?
Our Preliminary Assessment (PA) Days enable us to get to know you better and to make a final decision on your fit for the program. PA events generally run about 4 hours. Candidates are placed into small groups along with two EnCorps Assessors (interviewers). Each candidate is asked to present a 5-minute sample-teaching lesson, participate in a group discussion, write about a realistic education scenario, and engage in a one-on-one interview. Each candidate is evaluated holistically, and successful candidates will demonstrate the potential to raise student achievement in a high need school during each part of the interview day. More information about Preliminary Assessment Interview Days and how to prepare for them will be provided to qualified candidates that receive an invitation to interview.
