Demonstration Project
The Demonstration Project is a rigorous and personalized professional development endeavor. It exists for ambitious individuals who want to maximize their positive impact on students while also serving the profession. It includes a variety of benchmarks that promote deep learning, reflection, and implementation.
Submission Benchmarks
At the beginning and the end of the project, you’ll create a video and written reflection of your skills.
Prerequisite Video Submission
Record a video of yourself teaching a full lesson (a short one—20 minutes or less—works best). A full lesson includes getting students’ attention, engaging them in some learning experience, preparing them for an independent task, and supporting them while they work on their own.
Upload the video so you can create a link to share. The most common options are Google Drive or YouTube.
Respond to the following reflection questions. You can type your answers in a document so they are ready to paste into the form below.
What are you proud of?
What surprised you while watching yourself?
What specific goals do you have moving forward?
What are you hoping to learn from the Demonstration Project?
