I've got an interview for a lecturing position, it's part time, doing hnc, hnd and foundation degree level.
I have a secondary pgce obtained many years ago, loads of academic qualifications and industry experience, but I'm fretting about the microteach I have to do at interview.
20 minutes at that level is causing me problems, as I'll have to rush if I'm assuming little prior knowledge to get to the bit they're interested in. If I assume prior knowledge they might get totally lost and I'll look like a fool!
My dH is a secondary teacher, he says I should do something basic and get the students to do an activity rather than lecture as such, but that feels too school to me, surely college is more lecture-y, I know uni was very much 'lecturer goes on for an hour- students listen'. Dh says too much talking is frowned on by ofsted.
What would you do? Is college like school or like uni?
Any idea what the microteach is looking for, apart from me not to throw myself out of the window in a panic, which currently feels increasingly likely?
Any advice at all greatfully received!
