After death and taxes, the next unavoidable thing in life may be lousy Powerpoint presentations.

But when you are invited to present a keynote or facilitate a workshop to people you know little or nothing about, how do you ensure you are sufficiently sensitive to your audience? I can be giving a workshop on the same topic and I would do it completely differently to faculty at my institution vs other universities in Egypt.

Leading professional learning, teaching a lesson, participating in a PLC (professional learning community), or flipping a faculty meeting are all ways that leaders can model the same practices that they want their staff to embrace. I have been doing a great deal more modeling in my coaching role as of late.

This is a lesson I learned most recently as a presenter and workshop facilitator. It wasn’t until a presentation at a major conference where I got the kick in the butt that I desperately needed but wasn’t aware of until then. Early on, I used more traditional strategies since this was a new arena for me.

In contrast to the heyday of the chapter when our yearly conferences would draw participants by the hundreds, and speaker and presentation opportunities were competitive, the low turnout for this conference felt agonizing and disgraceful.

To overcome this, we present the essential factors teachers and administrators should consider. To meet these demands, educators should consider interactive learning platforms that put lesson interactivity first. However, with so many interactive learning platforms available on the market, it can be hard to choose the right one.

I have been blessed to not only deliver keynotes and workshops but also to facilitate job-embedded coaching on a long-term basis.
