By now you will have watched some if not all of the programs we run at our libraries.

To complete your training you need to go through a process of on the job training where you will go through these steps

Step 1 Observe:

You will observe branch team members and kids team members resent the programs.

What did you observe that surprised you?

What would you do the same?

What would you do differently?

Step 2 Participate: SMILE!

You will sit in with presentations of the program at your branch. Your team ember will present the majority of the program and you will take on part of the program to build confidence. Some of the things you can take on are...

Sing a song

Read a book

Do a feltboard

Use a puppet

Do the opening routine

Do the closing routine

As you feel more confident take on more than one activity.

Keep notes of how you feel you went and the feedback from your team members. Listen for constructive ideas and remember-the kids and the parents will love what you are doing. Everyone has their own style and preferred manner for delivering programs. Find yours and enjoy what you do.

Step 3: Present:

You should be ready to present from beginning to end. You can choose to do this last step completely solo with a team member standing by in case you get stuck or with a team member sitting with you and doing one element them selves.

Keep notes of anything you think you did really well, anything you think you would change and any parent or child behaviours that occurred.
