EDU 455 Blog Post 2: Enlisting and Providing Support
First of all I would like to thank you for your responses and suggestions to my last blog. I appreciate the suggestions you made, they have made me take a closer look at some of my ideas and given my ideas that will be helpful if my plan is put into place.
I have been having a difficult time understanding what the professor is looking for on my applications, which is making me even more nervous about my presentation. Have any of you been having a hard time understanding the requirements? I am having a difficult time putting my ideas into a presentation because I am constantly second guessing my goals and the way that I plan on presenting my plan.
I have worked with may of the people that I will have to present my plan too and I think I know what they are looking for as far as information and how it needs to be presented. I am planning on providing them with a fact sheet and presenting my ideas in a power point presentation. This is how the preschool typically looks at new ideas and the people that make the decisions prefer to have visual aids. I also know that this group of people are only the first step into getting a new idea implemented because the preschool is part of a church and there are several committees that need to approve any sizable change in the preschool curriculum.
I guess what I need from my colleagues are any suggestions you may have to enhance my presentation with power point or any suggestions about how design a professional information sheet that is concise and to the point so that the main ideas of my presentation can fit on to one sheet of paper.
I have been working with the administrator and a couple of the teachers at the preschool to help with how I present the facts and the wording. That has been helpful.
ONCE AGAIN, if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them!
Thanks so much and good luck on your presentations!
Debbi,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your suggestions to increase parent participation. I appreciate your feedback. I wish you the best of luck on your presentation and in your future endeavors.
Hi Debbi, I am so glad that I am not alone in my feelings about all of my class work. I do enjoy the class yet have had such confussion all along. I am trying a power point presentation to give an Infant Toddler Cohort group. Keep in there with your work. This is a real learning experience for us as we learn.
ReplyDeleteHI Debbi,
ReplyDeleteI get the feeling that many of us are unclear as to exactly what the expectations are for applications, myself included. I think that it is important that we are clear in all of our areas without sounding like we are writing a paper. Also, I felt like I had to limit myself to two pages, but I couldn't get my ideas across in only two short pages so with the recent application assignment, I was not concerned about the number of pages. I am not sure if this is right, but I feel for me it is. Do what you think is right and be ok with it. I think that is true in most cases in life:). Good luck to you!!
