Are you looking to enhance your teaching methods and boost student engagement in your classroom? Join us for a workshop designed for educators who use demonstrations to reinforce learning objectives. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore the overlap between instructor-led demonstrations and student-led experiential learning, while considering instructional choices that help shape the execution of in-class demonstrations. They will engage in collaborative discussions with fellow educators and leave the workshop with practical strategies. By the end of this workshop, participants will be prepared to:

• Describe a relevant instructor-led demonstration in your discipline and how it helps to support student learning
• Select between instructor-led demonstration and student-executed activity/laboratory for supporting student learning
• Organize a class session that includes an instructor-led demonstration (e.g. decide where in a lesson plan a demonstration is most valuable)

About CIRTL Programming

CIRTL Network programming is designed to develop future faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices to create undergraduate educational experiences that are accessible to all learners. Participants can explore our programming in any order, and to whatever extent supports your own teaching development needs and interests. To help participants understand what they can expect across all our programming, all CIRTL programming aligns with four broad learning goals; within those goals, programming might provide participants with an introductory, intermediate, or advanced learning experience.

This course supports the following CIRTL learning goals at an introductory or intermediate level:

• Goal 1: Develop evidence-based teaching knowledge. See more Goal 1 programming.
• Goal 2: Connect with community to enhance teaching. See more Goal 2 programming.
• Goal 3: Cultivate teaching skills through reflective improvement. See more Goal 3 programming.
• Goal 4: Prepare for an impactful career. See more Goal 4 programming.
