Teaching Demonstrations are important parts of campus visits that often get overshadowed by a candidate’s job talk preparations. This workshop will introduce participants to the teaching demonstration as a genre, focusing specifically on the formal features that committees look for when they watch you give one. In addition to answering basic questions about what a teaching demonstration is and why it’s a significant part of a candidate’s overall evaluation, participants will collectively generate ideas for lesson components usable in future demonstrations.

All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the English department, and so may be most useful to students in related fields.
