We spent today getting ready for the Showcase, which will be all day tomorrow. It will involve setting up early in the morning (7:30am) and starting around 10am with the presentations. First, there should be an overview to the directors of our prospective libraries of what we have been doing with this program, what we have learned. Then, each of us (15) will give a 5 minute explanation of what we did for our training designs. There will be a break in between that and then lunch at the end of those presentations. After lunch we will have the actual showcase, where we each stand by our presentation boards and answer questions from attendees (directors and other Master Trainers around the state).
I need to polish my presentation tonight, but I am pretty confident with the information I am going to give. At the end of the day tomorrow we actually have a graduation ceremony. I have to say, as much work as this has been, I have learned a lot (more on that after graduation) and it has been rewarding. My next post will be a post from a Master Trainer…me!
More reflections after tomorrow’s big day!
