MODALITY

-
TIME MANAGEMENT

-
TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY
- Instructors will be asked questions commonly raised in the SI classroom. They should be able to answer these moderate questions appropriately.
- Note: If you are asked a question you don't know the answer to, say so! Situations as such will happen when you teach, and it's alright to say "I don't know, yet."
-
ATTITUDE
- While this is an interview and we understand that interviews can be nerve-wrecking, BE YOURSELF! Have fun with your lesson plan. Your students will only be passionate about your lesson if YOU are passionate teaching it~
