Preparing Your Teaching Demo for a Job Interview

As part of the interview process for a faculty position in the U.S., you may be asked to lead a teaching demonstration. In this interactive workshop, we’ll discuss ways to go into your teaching demo with preparedness, confidence, and adaptability. By the end of this workshop, participants will be prepared to:

• identify questions and decision points useful in preparing a teaching demo for a job interview in the U.S.
• strategize ways to gather the information needed to effectively plan a teaching demo
• generate strategies for dealing effectively with challenging situations that might emerge during a demo (e.g. logistical, technological, or interpersonal).
