The presenter commands the attention of attendees through enthusiasm,
gestures, eye contact, volume and strategic movement around the room.
Credibility is established through diction and confidence.



Pacing is adjusted throughout the presentation to ensure engagement and
understanding. Content is not rushed through, teachers are given the
opportunity to process and discuss, and content is also not belabored.






Clear directions are given so attendees are able to seamlessly navigate from
one resource to the next without confusion. Teachers use the online manual
and the software, and understand the difference between the two. If there
are hardcopy materials, they are distributed seamlessly without taking time
away from the presentation.



The presenter acts as a facilitator instead of direct instructor. There are
frequent, relevant activities and discussions that require participation from
all attendees. Question types vary and a culture of collaboration and sharing
is created in the training.



The presentation and tools are used to enhance the workshop. The
presenter knows how to seamlessly use the Preso and a wireless device for
manipulating the slides. The room is set up so everyone can see and hear.



The presenter delivers pertinent, accurate information throughout the
workshop. Questions are answered clearly, the software and role of the
teacher are explained clearly, and teachers walk out with an accurate picture
of what ST Math is and how it should be used.



The key concepts of the workshop are woven throughout the presentation,
making a cohesive whole. Key concepts may include learning by doing;
immediate, informative feedback; teacher as facilitator; desirable difficulty;
intrinsic motivation; schema building; spatial temporal reasoning; and
content and practice standards.
