 A Note about the Teacher Insight Assessment:

TeacherInsight is an important part of your job application process, so you should approach it seriously.  The online assessment asks questions about yourself and how you might handle certain situations. Don’t over think the questions; just give your honest, top-of-mind responses, because there are no trick questions. We recommend you get a good night’s sleep and arrange to have at least 45 uninterrupted minutes for the interview. Make sure you are using a computer in good working order with a stable Internet connection. Finally, be sure to read the questions carefully before responding. In particular, read the scale on the Likert questions to ensure you are answering the way you intend.
