In the past, we have found that participants usually aren't able to predict how they will use the microteaching sessions to best advantage. If there are a few slides or handouts or models or passages from texts that you frequently use in teaching, you should certainly feel free to bring them. We find that people's plans for microteaching develop during the workshop, and it has often been not especially useful to do too much advance planning for those sessions. Participants generally dress very informally. Not all rooms are air-conditioned.
Participants often describe the workshop as intense and even exhausting.
We recommend that you NOT arrive exhausted. If you arrive with energy to spare, you will be able to experience the workshop fully without exhaustion.
