Drive the case; after presenting your framework, suggest where you’d start; as you’re gathering information, make sure to supplement questions with your hypotheses/rationale on why you’re asking them / where you’re headed

Make sure to answer the question in your final recommendation.

Depends on how senior - if principals likely more focus on case if more senior they’ll be more focused on fit. But isn’t too different from first rounds, good luck. They tend to be a bit quirkier since final round interviewers get to write their own cases vs using standard cases but should follow a similar structure

What area are you in op? I am trying to interview as well.

How do you engage your students in more reading outside of what is required in the classroom? With each passing year I am finding an ever shrinking population of students, including honors students, who actually read beyond what is posted in social media or video games. Students willingly volunteer that they do not read and most parents see it as a non-issue. I tell my students that the best readers are usually the best writers. What are some strategies that you use beyond reading logs ?

Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
