Interview
Mostly asking if you have experience working with kids, they would also ask why you want to work with children and give multiple scenario questions. They will also ask your preferred age group, but it's not guaranteed that you will work with the group you want.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: If two kids have a conflict in the classroom, what will you do?
Q: Imagine you are leading the group right now, propose an activity and present it to the room.
It was simple and straight forward. Asked about prior experience, strengths, weaknesses and there were a few additional questions that were asked by the interviewer about specific on the job situation.
