AYSO Guidelines
This course will be similar to most
AYSO courses in how it will be run,
except there is a set of strict guidelines
for conduct.
Let’s look at a few things:
2014
17
AYSO Guidelines
• Everyone attending this course is here to participate and must
be a Management Instructor.
• Break outs into groups they will be mixed based on gender,
Section, years of experience, etc. Groups will not be all women
or all from the same Section.
• All qualified Management Instructors are welcome.
•When you are given feedback on your presentations, it will be as
supportive as possible.
• We are all here to support each other and have fun as individuals
and as a group.
• Instructors we will give you tools to develop your presentation
skills.
18
Does anything jump out at
you about our course guidelines?
•
•
•
•
•
•
Participation = Everyone Plays®
Varied Workgroups = Balanced Teams
Management Instructors = Open Registration
Supportive Feedback = Positive Coaching
Fun, Supportive Environment = Good Sportsmanship
Instructor Tools = Player Development

Conclusion
If you take the time and try to be
creative, you can often find ways to
present common or dry material in
different ways.
2014

Details – Do you know what these symbols
mean for your presentation?
2014
25
 Be aware of your time. Time management is
important in these 2-minute presentations.
 If you need to set up the room or prepare the
audience in some way, do that first.
 Indicate to the timer (at the back of the room)
that you are ready to begin.Your time will start
then.
2014
26
Every Presentation Should Include:
Introduction
Yourself and your topic.
There is no need to say more than your name.
Body

Let’s relax and have fun.
Your best instruction will happen when you
are relaxed with the audience, comfortable
with the environment and knowledgeable
about the material you are presenting.
2014
29
Give us one word to describe
how you feel after this first
presentation in the course.

Module 5
Using Games in Teaching
Note: The Handbook should be closed for this module.
2014
31
Games can prove to be a fun and
interactive way to increase the
learner’s retention of material.
2014
32
People have to do more than just
hear information.
They have to engage it, own it and
do something different with it.
2014
33
Let’s divide up into groups of
equal numbers.
2014
34
We want you all to learn and
remember some basic facts about:
2014
35
Let’s play a game.
You will have five minutes to match
all of the questions with the
correct answers.
2014
36
What did you like about playing
the game?
How did it help in the learning
process?
2014
37
What are some things that an
instructor needs to do before
the game begins?
2014
38
What are some things an
instructor should do after
the game?
2014
39
How could you have altered the
game if everyone in here was a
brand new AYSO volunteer?
2014
40
Use Games...
• When material being presented is dry.
• To demonstrate the importance of teamwork.
• To present a simple concept in an exciting
manner, in particular knowledge based
material.
• To liven up a workshop, especially when much
of the material is presented in a lecture
format.
2014
41
When teaching
Management Workshops,
when are games not
recommended?
2014
42
Don’t use games when…
• The workshop is a large group and using
a game would cause problems with
workshop control.
• The material is of a serious nature.
• There is a limited time and setting up the
game would take up too much time.
2014
43
What was fun about playing the game?
How would a lecture format have
changed the learning process?
2014

Module 6
Team Teaching
2014
45
Instructing
• Who has been in a workshop at an AYSO
EXPO that was taught by two or more
instructors?
• Did they work well together?
• What made them an effective or ineffective
team?
2014
46
What is the difference between
team teaching and sequential
(shared) teaching?
2014
47
Team Teaching
Both instructors actively
share the instruction of
content and skills to all
students. Typically, both
instructors are in front of the class.
2014
48
Sequential or Shared Teaching
When one instructor teaches the
first half of the workshop and then
turns it over to the co-instructor.
The instructors are in front of the
class at different times.
2014
49
What are the pros and cons of
team and sequential teaching?

What are the characteristics of
successful team teachers?
2014
54

successful with the right planning
and attitude.
Try it!
2014
56
Module 7
Teaching Methods
Note: The Handbook should be closed for this module.
2014
57
Considerations for
Choosing a Teaching Method
• Students have different learning styles.
• Diverse learning objectives must be
taught in different ways.
• Various teaching environments require
different methods.
• Effective teaching necessitates variety in
the methods employed.
2014
Let’s divide up into groups
again!
2014
59
What part of the Registrar Workshop
could be taught through the methods
below?
• Lecture
• Lecture with
guided
participation
• Brainstorming
2014
• Role playing
• Small group
discussions
• Scenarios
60
2014
61
There are three things that will
determine the teaching method
an instructor will use.
Any guesses?
2014
62
1. Attendees
• Why would the size of the audience
determine which teaching method you
would use?
• Is the experience level relevant?
2014
63
2. Environment
• In choosing your teaching method when
will it make a difference if you are
indoors or outdoors?
• How will the room size affect your
choice?
• What about equipment?
2014
64
3. Subject
• Is it a subject that requires thought,
discussion or debate?
• Will this be a review of the material or
will the attendees be hearing this for
the first time?
• Is it a serious subject?
2014
65
Conclusion
• Teaching Methods are like tools; you
can’t build a complete house
with only a saw.
• The best instructors
use a variety of teaching
methods.
2014

Module 8
The Questioning Toolkit
Note: The Handbook should be closed for this module.
2014
67
Some Questions..
•
•
•
•
•
•
2014
Do you think it is good to use questions?
Should you ask a lot of questions?
Will it make the time go faster?
Will it keep the audience involved?
Is it easy to ask questions?
Are you tired of these questions that can only be
answered with a “Yes” or “No”?
68
Why do instructors ask questions?
• To gain the learner’s participation in the class.
• To determine what the learner knows about a
subject.
• To focus attention of the learner.
• To lead discussions.
• To review subject matter.
• To help students learn from each other.
• To test the learner’s knowledge of subjects covered
in the class.
2014

Volunteer Application Forms that
the Registrar uses at registration to
help the RRA and RCA recruit
volunteers so that the RC will be able to
tell the Treasurer that your NAP
account will be in compliance this year?
2014
73
Top 10 Questioning Rules
1. Ask clear questions.
2. Ask your question before designating a person to
respond.
3. Ask questions that match your lesson objectives.
4. Distribute questions throughout the class fairly.
5. Ask questions suited to all ability
levels in the class.
2014
74
More Rules…
6. Ask only one question at a time.
7. Pause for at least three seconds following each
question.
8. Listen to the answer.
9. Emphasize the correct answer.
10. Avoid “yes” or “no” questions.
2014
75
The questioning process should be like
slowly walking down a flight of stairs.
The AYSO APPLE Technique
ASK (the question)
PAUSE (for three seconds)
PICK (call the student by name)
LISTEN (to the answer – another
pause is good)
EMPHASIZE (the correct answer)
2014
76
Good questions and questioning
techniques can make
a fair instructor good and
a good instructor great.

1) People try to put every word
they are going to say into their
PowerPoint slides. Although this
eliminates the need to memorize
your talk, ultimately this makes
your slides crowded, wordy, and
boring. You will lose your
audience’s attention before you
even reach the bottom of your…

And you always use the default
Questions
• How many of you have used the PowerPoint
presentations that are provided with the
management lesson plans?
• Were you comfortable using a PPP?
• What was your comfort level?
2013
96
As an Advanced Management
Instructor you will not only be
expected to be able to use
PowerPoint but also display a
higher level of comfort while using
it to enhance your instructing.
2014
97
Advantages
•
•
•
•
•
2014
Provides a visual cue for the instructor.
Perfect for large group instruction
Aids in learning for the visual learner.
It can illustrate an abstract idea.
A good PowerPoint presentation can
leave a lasting image of a point that is
being taught.
98
Disadvantages
• The instructor become too dependent on the
PowerPoint.
• Can get boring if the instructor starts reading the
slides.
• Can diminish the interaction between the instructor
and course participants.
• If something goes wrong with the equipment, you
may not be able to use the PPP.
• All instructors may not know how to use
PowerPoint or have little experience in using it.
2014
How can you adapt the use of
PPP for smaller groups?
2014
100
Which of the following statements best
describes your view about presenting using
PowerPoint?
• The PowerPoint presentation that has been
developed for the lesson I am teaching uses every
sound, clip art and animation available so I don’t need
to develop my personal presentation skills.
• The PowerPoint presentation IS the presentation.
• The PowerPoint presentation enhances my points; is
clear, clean, and concise; and my audiences walk away
with a clarified message.
2014
101
PowerPoint should enhance your
presentation, not take center stage.
You should be the center of
attention.
2014
102
And finally, PowerPoint is not a
replacement for a good instructor!
