Preparing a Teaching Demo for a Job Interview

Event Information
Date: 
Thursday, October 22, 2026 - 10:30am to 12:00pm

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.

Registration will close and applicants will receive a Zoom link approximately 1 hour before the event.
