Principal as Presenter
A principal’s capacity to communicate clearly and effectively is a valuable leadership skill, instrumental in influencing culture and coherence. A well-delivered presentation has the power, not only to inform but to persuade; to affect both the thoughts and attitudes of listeners.
Whether speaking at a staff meeting, college council meeting or any other community assembly, a principal’s presentation is a performance. As such, it is a skill that can be developed and continuously improved.
In this workshop, Andrew will explain and demonstrate tips, tricks and tools he and other professional presenters use, that make presentations more seamless, more compelling and more memorable.
No matter your current presentation skill level, you are sure to pick up some ideas and insights that will guarantee your next presentation is more effective than your last.
From a previous workshop participant:
“Hey Andrew, I gave my presentation last night, that I reworked after your session.
I have never had such great feedback. I will never look back. Thanks heaps!”
Linda Blakis | (then) Assistant Principal | Mt Ridley College
Dr Robert Kay will discuss the changing goal posts for education. Based on 15 years research across a wide range of school systems, this presentation will examine the key factors keeping the school system locked in Education 1.0. But change is coming, with rapid developments in microcredentials changing the way we think about assessment and the recognition of learning. This will create new opportunities for schools to support their students pursue alternative learning pathways and approaches. Rob will discuss what this means for schools as we head towards a new paradigm in education.
