Additional Guidance

  • Watch out for overload. The most common mistake we’ve seen in these presentations occurs when the presenter displays multiple pages of materials and races through them (or doesn’t take the time to read key parts of them aloud), while the audience finds itself unable to keep up. The best presentations are those that slow down and focus on a single part or a single page, which allows both the presenter and the audience to think carefully about the wording of the new material and offer thoughtful responses.

  • Note for audience: your attention and participation is crucial. We hope these presentations will be helpful to the presenters who get feedback, but also to the audience members who will encounter a wide range of thoughtful teaching materials.
