Best Practice: Assess your audience before the event Whether you are an organizer, presenter, teacher, or volunteer, learning about the needs, interests and experiences of the participants attending your event is the foundation of effective planning and teaching. Regardless of the content of your presentation, learners will come to field days with a variety of personal experiences, learning styles, ethnic backgrounds, religious beliefs, and mental and physical abilities through which your information will be processed. Developing a strong awareness of these learning diversities will help you design more successful events and presentations. Access audience worksheets and forms through the links at right.
