GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTATIONS
Presenting one aspect of your work or raising an issue that faces you daily in your teaching can be an informative experience. You gain a deeper understanding of why something may work or be problematic as well as have the pleasure of sharing your experience and knowledge with a supportive group of peers. In addition, presentations of practice also offer the teacher an opportunity to receive feedback and support from colleagues.
To ensure that presentation provide a gratifying experience both for the presenting teacher and the audience, they need to be carefully considered and designed in advance. If you plan on presenting some aspect of your teaching to the group, please consult the following guidelines. It is essential that you meet with seminar leaders prior to your presentation.
Guidelines:
Possible Plan:
1) reading and using writing in a particular way
2) writing and/or revision
3) looking and/or working with samples of student work, framed by a focus question
4) engaging in a hands-on endeavor that reflects what students might do in your class
NOTE: These guidelines are very general. Your particular focus may not fit the items on this sheet. This is why it is important for you to discuss your plans with seminar or workshop leaders.
