SUMMARY:Preparing a Teaching Demo for a Job Interview
DESCRIPTION:As part of the interview process for a faculty position\, 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. Participants will explore considerations related to their audience\, factors affecting content\, logistics (including technology)\, and teaching/learning interactions. Participants will also strategize ways to cope with unexpected challenges that could emerge during a teaching demo. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be prepared to: \n\nIdentify questions and decision points useful in preparing a teaching demo for a job interview.\nStrategize ways to gather the information needed to effectively plan a teaching demo.\nGenerate strategies for dealing effectively with challenging situations that might emerge during a demo (e.g.\, logistical\, technological\, or interpersonal).\n\nInstructors\nChas Brua\, Pennsylvania State University\nBeate Brunow\, Pennsylvania State University \nWorkshop Schedule\nThis one-session online workshop meets in Zoom on Monday\, October 6th at 8-9:30pm Gulf / 12-1:30pm Eastern / 11am-12:30pm Central / 9-10:30am Pacific/Arizona. \nAudience\nThis workshop is designed first and foremost for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in STEM/SBE disciplines\, but generally relevant to anyone interested in an introduction to teaching demonstrations. \nRegistration and Enrollment\n***Registration is closed as of 9/22*** \nCap: 60.
