You use colleagues? My school just has some volunteer students come in to act as model students for interview demos. (Usually it's some incentive provided for by other teachers like a free absence or something). I was just in one a few weeks back.

OP: I'm not a teacher, but from my experience on the model student side...doing the whole discussion thing, keep it something that can be discussed in a minute or under (i.e. keep it something like students asking each other a single question or something), while making it understood that normally you would spend much longer and have it be a open, actual discussion. Just imitate the break in a class for discussion, don't try to model the actual discussion, there will NOT be enough time and the other teachers will get the idea.

I'd say, create a lecture that would 'normally' last about half an hour, with some of that half an hour being things like going over a resource, watching video clips, reading something with the class, etc. - then during the demo, spend a minute or so on these parts then skip past them (again, it'll be understood that you would spend much more time on this - the model students can keep up with the 'class' without the resource for the purpose of a teaching demo). That'll bring the demo down to the 15-20 minute mark, and give the interviewers a slice of many of your teaching methods instead of a broad piece of only one or two methods, and that will demonstrate that you have this multiple learning-style flexibility within the tiny time frame.

(If actual teachers suggest anything otherwise, listen to them, I'm just speaking from the other side of the experience.)

All the college/university job interviews I've had have been before a committee of colleagues: faculty, administrators, and sometimes staff.

That being said, I think your advice for how to construct a demo for students is solid.
