How to improve demo lesson
I had a demo lesson this week at a high school and I thought it went well but the interviewers seemed underwhelmed. I got the sense at the end that maybe they were kindly bidding me goodbye with a tone of finality. I should have asked for feedback from them but my confidence only dropped when I left and started reflecting. I'm a middle school teacher looking to move up to high school and I wonder if my lesson was too basic, hand holdy, or just wasn't impressive. I've done the same activity for observations before several times and was praised. I thought I performed really well but then when it was over, they asked a couple questions nonchalantly and then said "okay thanks for coming, good luck out there interviewing." I don't know how to take that.
Would it be bad form to email days later with a thank you and request a little feedback? Also, I don't want the job. So maybe I just take it as a moment to sharpen my game? What would you want to see in a 45 minute demo lesson?
