About the Event :

This workshop explores practical techniques teachers can use to confidently deliver impactful and effective classroom presentations and short lectures. We'll look at strategies and activities to engage students right from the start by activating background knowledge. Presentation techniques for increasing understanding, note taking and memorability such as effective signposting, chunking, storytelling, the rule of 3, repetition and rhetorical questions, the ‘you' approach will be introduced and practised and ineffective presentation habits will be identified. We'll also explore effective PowerPoint design and visual communication methods in the workshop.
