Question 1
How do you feel about parents who want to become more involved in their child's classroom?
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Putnam Valley, NY)
Interview
I signed up for an unpaid CIT position the following summer. After successfully proving myself, I filled out a paper application. I was contacted the next day and scheduled an interview. The interview itself was very nonchalant and relaxed. At the end of the interview, I was told that I would be receiving a letter of acceptance in a few days.
