Leadership Activity II:
Professional Development Presentation
Your principal has asked you, the instructional coach, to develop a short presentation for the faculty on important aspects of effective inclusion. You may choose from one of the following areas (corresponding with the chapters in the text):
· Creating environments that foster acceptance and friendship
· Creating successful transitions to inclusive settings
· Creating a classroom environment that promotes positive behavior
Your task is to develop a powerpoint presentation and a handout on one of the areas listed above. The powerpoint and handout should provide enough information for your peers that any of them could improve their abilities and strategies for fostering inclusion, simply based on your presentation. Assume that your presentation would be at a faculty meeting, and you would have about a half-hour to present.
For your powerpoint, remember the 7-by-7 rule: No more than 7 lines of text, and no more than 7 words on each line. Use plain, conservative fonts.
When you have finished your powerpoint and your handout, submit them to the assignment link in the module, then post them to the discussion board to share with your classmates.
