47
One more thought

• Remember
• It is important to enter correct roster
  information, arranging for mentors for those
  students who either need or want additional help

48
Lets discuss some tips before you make final
preparation for your presentations.
49
Every instructor needs to you use a few simple
techniques that will enhance any presentation,
regardless of the teaching method.
50
What are the things you need to do?
51
Make eye contact with each attendee while moving
around the room. Dont stand in one place the
entire time.
52
Be careful of these
53
Did you guess?

• Distracting mannerisms can weaken your
  presentation. These include biting your nails,
  keeping your hands in your pockets, standing in
  one place, etc.
• Remember not to turn your back on the students
  while you write on the flip chart. Get someone
  else to scribe for you

54
You will need to do this
55
Be yourself!

• Smile
• Make sure at some point in the presentation you
  let everyone know how much AYSO means to you.
• If teaching in small groups you have the option
  to sit right down at eye level with your
  students.

56
These will enhance any presentation
57
Enhancements

• Flip chart or individual fliers for information
• Tent (Name) cards for small groups.
• Say the students name when responding.
• Distribute your contact information and for
  section/area staff
• Manuals and job descriptions for everyone

58
These will confirm what the students have
learned
Questions
59
Questions!

• Survey the audience. New? Experienced? AYSO
  position?
• Respond to questions.
• Ask lots of questions.
• Dont be afraid to say I dont know the answer,
  but I will find out for you.
