HIRING EXERCISE
We feel that hiring exercises give candidates an opportunity to make a meaningful assessment of how a role will fit
them and allow us to review a candidates skills in an in-depth manner. Please read the context below and
complete the numbered tasks and submit your response along with your resume and cover letter.
At the Opportunity by Design High School housed at Hope HS, students will move at their own pace through whole
group teaching, computer-based exercises, 1:1 tutorials and small groups for targeted support. This asynchronous
approach within each classroom means that students are doing different things at different times every day, based
on their own personalized education plans. The digital content programs used at our school will be largely selfpaced and include assessments to regulate students understanding and readiness to progress. Teachers will use
these tools to identify knowledge gaps among students and tailor support to the students ability levels. The online
software can supplement understanding, allow advanced students to push ahead, and identify students that need
additional help.
1.
Review the following pages of data related to climate, culture and academic achievement and the 10
Carnegie School Design Principles.
2.
Please submit a written response (no more than 500 words) that outlines your plan for how you would
design your classroom to meet the different social, emotional and academic needs of your students based
on the data and design principles. Please state rationale for the priorities and components included in your
plan. This exercise presents an opportunity to introduce new, out-of-the-box designs. We encourage you
to propose your most creative options.
