About This Book
This is a practical, hands-on resource full of ideas and success-proven strategies that not only put you at ease when you're the focus of everyone's attention, but actually help you improve the effectiveness of your presentations, whoever your audience. You'll refer to this self-help guide over and over again as you learn to present, strengthen your presentation skills, or improve the effectiveness of your instruction. The many step-by-step guidelines help you organize your presentation (everything from designing the room layout to ordering the events and information), customize your presentation, and make it right on target for your audience. And many of the ideas are perfect for working with perhaps your most important audience - your K-16 students.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Presentations are no longer just for the ‘experts’ and outside consultants. The need for training on how to make winning presentations is greater than ever in this information age. I know of no other resource that is this comprehensive in its offering of useful content that relate to making top notch presentations. Besides being an indispensable resource for those who are new to staff development, this book also is a MUST for veteran presenters like myself. . . . I will immediately begin to apply the practical suggestions offered in this resource. Garmston really knows the realities of presenting to teachers and his suggestions work!
