checklist

=Professional Developers Checklist= By [|Mark Wagner, Ph.D.]


 * 1) Prepare your materials (handouts and online support, including an evaluation) prior to the training.
 * 2) Test everything and rehearse prior to the training.
 * 3) Arrive early to setup and greet participants as they arrive.
 * 4) Start on time by welcoming participants. (Introduce yourself and the topic of the workshop. Include a hook or demo to build interest.)
 * 5) Provide a welcome activity. (This should get participants thinking, talking, and introducing themselves. It is best if this is related to the topic at hand and to a greater emotional connection beyond the topic.)
 * 6) Make the presentation exciting and focus on learning by doing.
 * 7) Use the resources (knowledge and creativity) people bring into the room.
 * 8) Check for understanding and adjust on the fly.
 * 9) Wrap up with a reflection activity. (This may be related to the welcome activity, content covered during the event, or participants’ next steps.)
 * 10) Allow time at the end of the training for the participants to complete the online evaluation. (This should be during the training, not after the end time.)
 * 11) Be sure participants have your contact information for follow up.
 * 12) Review the evaluation responses and adjust for the future.
