Hi everyone,
Sorry for posting so late. Posting for traffic 
Just found out earlier today that I've got a job interview next week.
Part of the interview involves doing a short workshop (15 minutes) for four GCSE students on how to make good A level choices. There'll also be an assessor in the room during the interview, and I'll be assessed on how I adapt to the needs of the group of students and how I communicate with them.
I've done a plan of the workshop, and have come up with this so far:
- I explain to the students what we'll be doing:
- introduce myself and ask for students' names
- ask if they know what I'll be doing with them (acts as a 'hook' to get them interested and curious)
- tell them what we're doing if they don't already know.
2) Explain why we're doing it:
- ask students why we're doing this before I explain it to them
- making good A level choices can help to decide what you want to do later on in life (e.g. whether you go to university or go straight into work after leaving school at 18)
3) Explain how we'll do it:
- knowing your passions and strengths help you decide which A levels you might want to study ('passion + strength = good course choice')
4) Summarise what we covered in the session:
- ask each student to name one thing they learned or took from the session
- what we did, why we did it, how we did it.
How does this sound?
I think the trickiest bits for me will be keeping things moving, as some of the students might be quieter and some will maybe want to speak more than others, so I want to help all students to contribute and still keep the discussion interesting, snappy and moving. I want to keep it all really energetic, and be really relatable so I can build a good rapport with the students as quickly as possible.
I haven't prepared any handouts or resources yet; just wondering if it's a good idea, as I reckon 15 minutes will go really quickly and I've got a lot to get through.
Thanks everyone! :)
