Teaching Candidates
1. Submit your application, including your cover letter and resume. Make sure that you are submitting your application to the correct email address; the middle school and high school use different emails.
2. Strong applicants will be invited to an initial phone or Zoom interview to learn more about you and your interest in teaching at Gateway. You will also have a chance to ask questions and learn more about Gateway and our school.
3. The most promising candidates from initial interviews will be invited to come to school for an in-person interview and to teach a demo lesson. Candidates will teach a 30-45 minute demo lesson, followed by a group interview with teachers and school leaders. Candidates should expect to reflect on their demo lesson and to answer questions from the team. Teams will take notes and will review candidates using a scoring rubric to maintain objectivity.
4. If all goes well, Gateway will check your references and make you an offer about a week after your final interview. Congrats! We’re excited to have you join us.
