What’s your main question about SBDI duties?

4. The Really Important Thing Today
“The most important thing in life is not to capitalize on your successes; any fool can do that. The really important thing is to profit from your mistakes.” - William Bolitho
MI activity: Ask a volunteer to read the quote aloud to help set the tone for the day. Remind candidates that no one is a perfect presenter and that it’s not unlikely that they’ll make a mistake or two during their 20 minute presentations, and that that’s OK. The purpose of today’s 20 minute presentations is to practice and to learn.

5. Candidate Presentation Guidelines
See if you can help the next scheduled presenter get ready
Take short breaks between presentations, but don’t disappear!
Use the “Presentation Observation Form #2” for each candidate
MI activity: Go over the process for the day’s presentations. Because it’s a long day, it’s important for candidates to help each other and to avoid “wandering off” for a phone call or errand. Decide together when’s the best time to eat lunch. Remind candidates that they must complete the evaluation form for each of their colleagues’ presentations. Before proceeding with the first presentation, ask candidates if they have any questions or concerns.

12. Unit 9 Assignment Finalize your 20 minute presentation
If you will present next time, call three people from class for advice
You will evaluated on how well you implement IOCCE and how well you involve the audience
We will be available after class today to discuss any questions you have about your presentation – our job and our passion is to help you succeed!
MI activity: Explain the Unit 9 assignment, which is to finalize the candidates’ 20 minute presentations. (Note: Determine the presentation sequence for the next day by letting candidates pick a number from a hat. It may help reduce anxiety to know when they’re scheduled to present.) Offer your assistance to any candidate who wishes to stay after for a few minutes. Strongly encourage candidates to do so. Ask them to call classmates for support, encouragement and suggestions. Anxiety is natural before the 20 minute presentation, but pay special attention to any candidates who seem especially worried or lost.
