The College of Education’s Demonstration Festival (Teaching Demo Fest) successfully concluded on January 31, 2025, at the CoEd Building, marking the end of an intensive week-long teaching demonstration by pre-deployment teachers.
Designed to prepare future educators for their upcoming teaching internships, the program required student teachers to craft lesson plans and demonstrate them in a mock class setting. The festival featured 10 demonstrators per day, with five in the morning and five in the afternoon, followed by a post-conference where internship supervisors and CoEd faculty provided constructive feedback.

Notably, despite being assigned the same topics, students showcased diverse teaching styles and strategies, reflecting their unique approaches to education. The event aimed to enhance participants’ teaching skills, reinforce proper pedagogical practices, and offer valuable evaluation before their internship deployment.
Dr. Richard Verdeflor, one of the internship supervisors, emphasized the importance of continuous growth in education, stating, “We have to continue the momentum of our teachers by fostering a culture of continuous improvement in the fields of teaching and learning within the College of Education.”

As the Teaching Demo Fest concludes, the College of Education reaffirms its commitment to developing competent educators. This program reflects NWSSU’s broader mission of academic excellence and professional readiness, equipping future teachers with the skills and confidence needed to uphold the university’s standards in education and service.
