Targeted Students: A variety of students in a whole group classroom setting that want to learn more about a specific topic or concept in order to develop greater understanding.
Student Benefit: Students that have the privilege of have a guest speaker benefit by (1) gaining an outside perspective from a professional that is a part of the field that relates to what they are learning about, (2) having the opportunity connect with a positive adult role model, and (3) hearing about a vast amount of information that may not be available in their daily life.
Partner Benefit: Partners that are guest speakers benefit by (1) having the opportunity to share a unique perspective, (2) being able to pass on their knowledge, passions, and expertise on to a younger generation, and (3) playing an integral role in the education of our students.
The Role This Partner Would Fill: Partners that volunteer their time to be a guest speaker would present on a specific topic to a classroom of students. This partner would lead the class in whatever presentation, discussion, or activity best fits that classes needs. The teacher will be in the classroom to help with student related issues, but the guest speaker would have the lead for presenting to the class.
