What is the Presenters' Forum?
The Presenters’ Forum is a workshop designed to support all those who want to develop their skills in making effective presentations. Educators, as well as leaders in any field who regularly present to others, will benefit from the Forum. The Forum follows a constructivist-based design and teaches “best practices” of presenting. Participants will engage in a highly interactive seminar throughout the Forum.
What is Presenting?
To present is to teach. A presenter’s goals are to extend and enrich knowledge, skills, and attitudes that apply in professional settings in meetings and classrooms. A presenter may adopt many stances (e.g., expert, colleague, novice, friend) and use many strategies of presentation (e.g., lecture, cooperative learning, study groups.) Premier presenters are guided by clarity of instructional outcomes and the continual assessment of goal achievement.
Why attend Presenters' Forum?
Presenters Forum is required to become a Cognitive CoachingSM or Adaptive Schools Training Associate (national and international consultant) and is highly recommended for those wishing to become an Agency Trainer (district or agency-based trainer).
