Mari and I gave a presentation this past Tuesday to the High School Network, a regional collaborative grant project. The presentation went well but the key to a good presentation is remembering your audience. Some of the information, I think, was a little too much for beginners. Seeing our year three portfolio was too much and became overwhelming. The agenda we used is below.
