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.

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.
