Description
Creating Effective Presentations: Staff Development with Impact presents a comprehensive approach to creating compelling, interactive staff development sessions. The book is highly practical, summing up important research in the field of visual communication, graphic design, and presentation skills as they apply specifically to those who teach and coach their fellow educators. In short, conversational chapters that include real-life examples, Peery gives quick lessons on planning each aspect of a resonant presentation. This book is filled with basic tips about making PowerPoint software work better for you and delivering a succesful presentation. If you do more than a few presentations a year for other adults who are involved in education-and you want your ideas to "stick" like never before-then this book is a must-read!
Reviews / Votes
As a supervisor of school improvement in a large urban district with no time to waste, I found Angela Peery's book, Creating Effective Presentations, filled with relevant and timely ideas about how to deal with the challenges of professional development and the ongoing task of improving teacher performance. It gives the staff developer the tools and considerations needed to get the message across with the highest impact. -- Lori Kelly, Paterson Public Schools, Paterson, NJ Angela Peery has written a great book for people who want to communicate compelling ideas and mobilize audiences to action. Her fresh ideas for turning presentations into opportunities for clients to focus on their most important goals put the speaker's energy where it belongs. If you have ever squirmed over your own wordy PowerPoint presentations, this book will become your go-to source for every presentation you make. -- Elle Allison, PhD, founder of Renewal Coaching and Wisdom Out; member of the National Speakers' Association and National Staff Development AcademyMore details
