• Questions you have with which your colleagues may be able to provide help and support

I am comfortable using a PowerPoint presentation but am not sure if that is the most dynamic way of presenting my information to the group.  Does anyone have any other suggestions or should I go with what’s most comfortable for me? 

About how long do you think a presentation should be?

• Resources and information you are seeking

I think I have a lot of good resources and information and feel confident about the direction that I am taking.

• Resources and/or information you have found helpful and insightful

The site that I have found to be most helpful is The Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning

“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world…would do this, it would change the earth. ”
― William Faulkner

• What inspires and excites you most about your advocacy plan and being an advocate?  I love knowing that I have the power to affect change for the positive.  I am really excited for the opportunity to help parents obtain behavioral management skills.  I believe this will positively impact the families at the center.
• What challenges and/or anxieties do you feel related to engaging in the advocacy efforts you have targeted?  I do have some anxieties about presenting my plan in the most effective manner possible.  There are so many variables to consider and I want to make sure that I am professional.
• What do you believe will be most effective in helping you overcome any challenging emotions you may be feeling with regard to presenting and implementing your Advocacy Action Plan?  I think that I need to be very prepared so that I will be confident in what I am saying.  I will also need to practice before hand. 
• How can you encourage others in their advocacy efforts, and how can others encourage you?  I think that the best way to encourage each other is by sharing stories of success.
