DESCRIPTION:CTE courses are performance-based.  When teachers let students know exactly how their work will be evaluated\, the students’ level of performance always improves. In this class\, you will participate in an activity\, then see how knowing the rubric beforehand would have made a positive difference in your performance.  Several types of rubrics that are effective for different assignments will be discussed.  You will also create a rubric for one of your own student projects with guided support and feedback. Bring an assignment for one of your student projects and your current grading criteria for that project to use when creating a rubric during this practical day. \nThere will be homework for this class. \nLocation:\nZoom – Upon registration\, you will receive an email with the link to join the Zoom meeting. \nLink: https://infohub.pimajted.org/events/153 \nDate: March 9\, 2022 \nTime: 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

SUMMARY:Effective Demonstrations
DESCRIPTION:Please bring your laptop to this class.  (tablet or phone could work) \nWhether in a welding lab or a bioscience lab\, effective demonstrations are crucial. In this course\, teachers will engage in the four-step demonstration method\, which gradually transitions the learning of a new skill from teacher to student\, through effective modeling\, guided instruction and independent practice. If done correctly every student can successfully perform the new skill with little or no frustration\, without wasted materials\, and attain proficiency in a way that will ensure the whole class progresses at an appropriate pace. An added bonus is that students complete the new skill in a safe and supportive environment.  Come and learn this four-part demonstration method! \nNOTE:  There is homework associated with this class to earn 1 ADE credit (15 hours). \nLocation:\nWest-MEC\n5405 N 99th Ave.\nGlendale\, AZ 85305 \nCost: $25 \nLink: https://pdcircle.west-mec.org/course/view/90 \nDate: February 10\, 2022 \nTime: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
