The Demonstration Project
The Demonstration Project maximizes the value of public learning for educators. Those who work on the project host audiences of other educators while they are deepening their implementation of Catalyst skills. The educator and their students directly benefit from increased use of impactful skills. That impact is multiplied when the audiences are immersed in the skills in real life situations and return to their classrooms inspired to increase their own implementation with their students.
Prerequisite Skillset: Foundational Skills Certified
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?
