Norms/conventions/technqiues **will** be different for maths than for e.g. Eng Lit

Whether you teach in an innovative or traditional matter, show your interviewers that you care about teaching, that you put thought into what you do in the classroom, and that you have achieved good results. | |

| Dec 26, 2019 at 15:15 | comment | added | Graham | @VladimirF From my time at university 20 years ago, having slides was unusual and "progressive". Not one lecturer could possibly have been described as active, nor as a good educator. Not one lecture was clear or insightful. And not one lecturer cared that that was the case. In the UK there's been a lot of work on standardising and improving primary and secondary education, but university education is mostly characterised by disdain for "new ideas". | |

| Dec 26, 2019 at 13:50 | comment | added | Vladimir F Героям слава | @Graham If it is traditional lecturing I assume there should be no slides to review. A chalk and a blackboard id the traditional (and my favourite) tool. I do start the computer if illustrations in the form of videos or photographs are appropriate. | |
| Dec 26, 2019 at 13:36 | comment | added | Kimball | While I agree with many things said here, a lot of the answers here seem to conflate innovative/engaging teaching with "active learning"/flipped classrooms. You can spend most of your time lecturing and still be innovative and engaging. | |
| Dec 26, 2019 at 8:28 | comment | added | Graham | @Buffy The OP should also consider than their "clear and insightful explanations" may be neither. Who reviewed their lecture slides? Who's sat in on the lecture see and given them honest feedback? From an engineering background, the most important concept isn't covered at uni, and it's "we all get things wrong". The review process ensures we've all got each other's backs, so the end result is better. It may be painful, but it isn't personal. | |

| Dec 25, 2019 at 12:03 | comment | added | Buffy | "it works fine, and the interviewers probably know this. And students like it". Consider that you may be wrong on all of that. It works for some. Some students like it. But many have no experience of anything better. | |
