Course Description :

Teaching a technical topic does not come naturally to everyone. Effective teaching is a combination of techniques and methods, and is based on theory. It is not a natural act just as adult learning is not a natural act. We must engage our students in the topic at hand to make these topics real and meaningful. Learn how to become your company's best internal consultant while balancing task and process for collaborative learning.

• Build skills in making presentations
• Learn communication concepts that work
• Practice impromptu speaking
• Prepare and deliver a presentation based on your own topic
• Learn tips to increase your comfort level when speaking in front of a group

Other skills that we will discuss will include: decreasing disruptions, improving self-effectiveness, building confidence, getting key points across, building a lesson plan, facilitating discussions, 10 tips on how to engage your audience, 6 key ideas to include in your slides, 12 habits to break for success.

The majority of time is dedicated to practice in an environment that is positive, non-threatening, and constructive. Students use their own material to prepare and conduct presentations. Attend this interactive session and learn how to manage yourself, your time, and the classroom environment.
