Registrar
Job
Description

Class Four
Teaching Workshops
“Help! I’ve never been a Registrar,
Treasurer or Safety Director. How
can I teach those workshops?”
31
• Everyone in here has a comfort zone.
• What do we mean by that?
• You may be asked to teach a course for which
you do not have the experience or knowledge.
Can you give an example?
You need to maintain your confidence and
gain the trust and respect of the attendees.
32
Activity
List on the flip chart all the things
that the Registrar, Safety Director
and Treasurer Regional board
position have in common.
33
Some possible answers
Everyone is here for the kids.
They all have a written job description. (Where
can they find it? – Web site)
AYSO’s Safe Haven® is their certification training
and taking their job specific course is their
official job training.
There is a manual for each job. (Where can they
buy one? – AYSO Supply Center)
34
More answers
There is a checklist for each. Where can they be
found? In the job specific manual
They all have to work together.
They all have to fill out a Volunteer Application.
The lesson plans for their jobs are all on ayso.org.
35
Exercise # 1
Divide candidates into groups of 4 – 5 (when possible).
Each person has 1-2 minutes to convince the rest
of the group to become their successor in the
AYSO job they currently hold or have held on
the Regional board.
The students need to use accurate, complete and
official information.
Select a time keeper.
36
Review
What were some common themes given?
Were you honest about the amount of time
the job would require
Did you feel you were able to get some
commitment made?
Did you tell them how their involvement
would positively impact the kids?
37
The intent...
As an instructor, you will be asked to teach
management workshops that are out of your
comfort zone.
You should be aware of resources (job
description, lesson plans, websites, contacts,
etc.) that can be used to assist you as an
instructor, as well as how to use them.
38
Questions?
How is everyone feeling?
Are you more comfortable now than you were
at the beginning of the course?
What have you learned from other instructor
candidates in the course?
39
Class Five
Nitty Gritty Details:
Before, During and After Teaching a
Management Workshop
40
Nitty Gritty
A successful course is dependent
on taking care of details beforehand,
following some basic procedures
during the course, and appropriate
follow up and evaluation after the
course.
41
Exercise # 1
Divide up into 3 teams.
New teams please!
1st team is to make a list (on post it notes) of
everything that needs to be done Before
teaching a management workshop.

Debrief

debrief…
43
Conclusion
A Management Instructor:




44
Has control over their presentations.
Prepares and teaches using the lesson plans.
Sets up classroom before attendees arrive.
Reports training results back to the Region.
One more thought…
Remember:
It is important to enter correct
roster information, arranging for
mentors for those attendees who
either need or want additional help.
45
Let’s discuss some tips
before you make final
preparation for your
presentations.
46
Every instructor needs to use a
few simple techniques that will
enhance any presentation,
regardless of the teaching method.
47
What are the things
you need to do?
48
Make eye contact with each
attendee while moving around the
room. Don’t stand in one place the
entire time.
49
Be careful of these…
50
Did you guess?
Distracting mannerisms can weaken your
presentation. These include biting your nails,
keeping your hands in your pockets, standing
in one place, etc.
Remember not to turn your back on the
students while you write on the flip chart.
Get someone else to scribe for you.
51
If you are making a
presentation, you will need to
do this…
52
Be yourself!
Smile.
Make sure at some point in the presentation you let
everyone know how much AYSO means to you.
If teaching in small groups, you have the option to
sit right down at eye level with your students.
53
These will enhance any
presentation
54
Enhancements
Flip chart or individual fliers for information.
Tent (name) cards for small groups.
Say the attendee’s name when responding.
Distribute your contact information and for
Area/Section staff.
 Manuals and job descriptions for everyone.




55
These will confirm what the
students have learned…
56
Questions!
Survey the audience:
New? Experienced? AYSO position?
Respond to questions.
Ask lots of questions.
Don’t be afraid to say: I don’t know the answer,
but I will find out for you.
57
Have Fun!
That
was
