TipsforaStrongerPresentationOneofthemostdifficultcomponentsofgivingapresentationwithmultiplepresentersistomakethepresentationlookunified.Whenyoupresentasateaminanyotherenvironmentoutsideofthegraduateprogramclassroom(ABAI,inservices,workshops,etc.),yourpresentationshouldlookintegrated,notlikeeachpersonpreparedacomponentofitandthenitwasallputtogether.Thiscanbehardduetoothercommitments,timeschedules,etc.butitisoftenthebiggestweaknessingraduatestudentclasspresentations.So,herearesometipsforhowtocreateacohesivepresentationthissemester.

§ First,plantimetoprepareyourpresentationwiththeothermember(s)of

yourgroup.§ Second,decideonafewmeasurableoutcomesforyour“students”to

achievethroughoutthecourseofthepresentation(theBACBactuallyhasaniceframeworkforthisforpreparingtalksthatqualifyforCEUsasdoesABAIfortheirrequirementsforsubmissionsforworkshopsattheannualconventions).Thissetofmeasurableoutcomesthendrivesthecontentofyourpresentationandyouractivitiesarelinkedtoyourassessmentofyoureffectivenessatdeliveringthelearningopportunitiesthatwouldcreatethoseoutcomes.

§ Next,consideryourpresentationlikeyouwouldconsideraparagraph–andnottobesillybutthehamburgermetaphoractuallyworkswellhere.Basically,youhaveanintroandaconclusionforyourpresentation–thebuns–thebeginningofyourpresentationsetsitupandtheendofyourpresentationsummarizesthemainpoint–itbringsyoubackfullcircle.Whatyoudoinbetweenthenisthemeatandtoppings(cheese,lettuce,catsup,etc.);theseareyoursupportingpoints,information,etc.thatgetyoufromthetopbuntothebottombunorfromyourmainideatoyourconclusion.Whatthismeans,likely,inthecontextofpresentingtheCodeandthecorrespondingreadingsisthatyourgroupderivesthebigideaof

theunitafterlookingoverallofthatinformation.So,ratherthansummarizingeachiteminthetasklistorthearticlesindividually,youlookforthebigpicture–thebigpictureistheintroductionorthetopbun–andlikelytheconclusionorthebottombun.ThenyouselectwhatisimportantfromthevariouscomponentsoftheCodeand/orthearticlesand/oranyotherinformationyoufindthathelpsyoutogetyourparticipantstoseethatbigidea.Thiswillalsohelpeachgrouptoensurethatactivities,examples,etc.areontopicandarerelevanttohelpingyourparticipantstoseethemainidea(andwillhelpyoutoselectvideos,memes,etc.thatcontributetoparticipantlearningandfitconceptuallywithinthescopeofwhatyouwanttoconveytoyourlearners).

§ Finally,youneedtopracticeandreviseandpracticeagain.Youneedtohaveclearrolesforwhoistheprimarypresenterforeachsection(s)ofyourpresentation.Youneedtohaveclearrolesforwhocanstepintosupporttheothersiftheyarestrugglingoryouhaveapointthatcanclarifythingsforyourparticipants.Youneedtohaveclearrolesforwhoyourtimekeeperis.Youneedtohaveclearrolesforwhocandecideunderwhatconditionsand/orcancommunicatetoothersthatyouaregoingtocontinueaconversationbasedonparticipantinterestand/orlearningopportunitiesthatareemergingandwhatisgoingtobecutduetotimeasaresult.Youhavetocommunicatewitheachotherandhaveanongoingdialoguewitheachotherduringthepresentationthatotherscanseebutnotreallysee…Theyneedtoseeyouareworkingtogetherbutnottheactuallydialogueaboutitorhesitationswhenitisunclear.
