5. Do you have any teaching experience or experience working with children? If so, describe. (Note: No teaching experience is necessary to teach CIVICS.)
   


6. Please list the blocks of time that you will *NOT* be available to teach, Monday – Friday, 8AM – 4PM (e.g., the times that you have classes, other extra-curricular commitments, jobs, etc.).
   


7. We will be conducting 10-15 minute interviews on Sunday, October 1st in Loker Commons beginning at noon. Please note below when you are available from 12:00 on. If you are unavailable that day, please let us know and we will try to reschedule.
   

As part of the interview, we will ask you to present a two-minute introduction to one aspect of American government, as if you were teaching a middle-school class. You may discuss any element of your choice (for example, the three branches of government or one branch in more detail, Judicial Review, the 2nd Amendment, a description of democracy, the Constitution, some issue in current affairs like disaster relief or the war in Iraq, etc.). This will be very low key. No teaching materials are needed, but we will have a dry-erase board in case you want to use it!
