Summary

Tips and advice for teachers on how best to prepare and deliver a demonstration lesson at interview.

The demonstration lesson is becoming an accepted part of the application process for teachers but it's shorter than the average lesson, at usually just 20 minutes.

Education consultant, Sara Bubb, joins the NQT Induction Programme in Lambeth where she talks to three teachers about their concerns and experiences.

There's the planning, not knowing the pupils or their names, and the worry of how well the children will cope with a different teacher.

Sara offers tips on making your lesson stand out, for all the right reasons.
