Why train presenters? To develop better coaches and officials... We need great presenters and facilitators to educate them!

How to structure learning Structure learning that is RAVE R = responsibleDid the session allow learners to take responsibility for their learning? A = activeHow active and involved was the group? V = varietyDid the session involve a variety of learning methods? E = engagingDid the session capture and hold attention?

Skills for presenters Presenters/facilitators should demonstrate MOAR Q’s M = message Did you get your message across and achieve the session outcomes?
