Is Your Curriculum Relevant? MD PETS Alliance Presenter

Common Topics

Goal Setting/Strategic Planning Budgets Preparing Your Team Leadership/Leading Meetings/Board/Club Assembly Building Effective Clubs/Membership Public Image/Telling Your Story/Social Media Engaging Your Community/Partnering Service Projects/Evaluation/Needs Assessment “Best Practices” TRF/Fundraising/Area of Focus Rotary Club Central In reviewing the curriculum documents that have been submitted, everyone offers these topics in some form. This isn’t a surprise. It makes perfect sense because we are in the business of training President Elects and these are the areas that collectively we feel need to be addressed for their preparation. A few expanded on Rotary topics, such as Youth Services, Rotary Comm Corps, Relevant, in this case, may not mean defining topics, although as Rotary changes, the expectations of PEs may change, such as RCC. Relevant, I believe, has more to do with a regular review of content to keep it refreshed as well as delivery and format. If we’re providing flexibility for club meetings, how are we considering our training delivery and formats? So in the next 10 minutes or so, let’s share what we’re doing in our individual events.

Do you have regularly scheduled curriculum reviews? Who manages this? How often? Who approves changes/updates?

How are you updating formats? Delivery? Are there expectations PEs come prepared (tasks/topics) to PETS? Does MD PETS provide content/worksheets/homework/etc to PEs to be completed prior to PETS? Does your MD PETS team collaborate with District Trainers? Who’s using webinars pre-PETS? Other high tech formats? This last COL focused over and over on the time commitment we require and the flexibility needed to make Rotary more up-to-date. What are we doing with our training to leverage technology in the most effective way?
