Your Selection Day is Friday, September 5, 2025.
Here’s how to get ready.
-
Select the subject area you’re applying to teach, then choose an available time for your 60-minute interview, where you’ll meet with a small panel.
After confirming your interview, you’ll be redirected to sign up for a 40-minute time slot to complete your writing task. The writing task will be completed in a group setting, but you’ll respond to the prompt individually.
Both the interview and the writing task will take place on the same day.
