Setup Checklist

Please arrange for the following:

• Either lapel mic (preferred), or cordless microphone - for Daniel to speak from. 
• A second cordless roaming microphone for audience interaction (applicable to large audiences - > 150 students). A teacher will be assigned to manage this during the session. 
• Lectern
• Table set to the side, next to the lectern, with a bottle of water
• For full day program delivery, Daniel’s lunch usually consists of a light wrap, salad and fruit. This is available within most school canteens. If not available within your school canteen, please let us know and an alternative can be arranged. 
• Digital projector and screen with video and audio capability (for music and videos). A headphone jack will be required to be plugged into Daniel's laptop / or iPhone.
• HDMI or VGA capability (Daniel will bring his Macbook Air to run the presentation).
• If possible, a spare powerpoint clicker (as a back up) - in the event that Daniel's clicker stops working during the session.
• Dimmed lighting is preferred for optimal experience and slideshow and video display.
• The preferred seating style is theatre style on chairs (not floor), with a walkway in the middle. 
• An air-conditioned room would be ideal (especially for hotter months) to enhance overall student experience.
• Unless advised not to by the school, Daniel will arrange for this session to be photographed and video recorded (using his smartphone), with the understanding that the school has ensured all attending students have obtained media permission from their parent/guardian. Daniel would appreciate if the school organises a designated photographer (staff member / student) to capture moments from the session, including candid audience shots and a group shot at the end. Smartphone images are sufficient. 
• If possible and time permits, Daniel would also appreciate receiving very short video testimonials from preselected students and staff member(s) - to be taken immediately after the session using Daniel’s smartphone.
• Audio and video recording of the session is not allowed. Thank you for respecting Daniel’s intellectual property.
• Daniel will introduce himself to students when sharing his story during his opening so no formal introduction is required. As a segway to being given the microphone to start, the lead staff member can share why the school has organised the program, what they hope students will gain, and behavioural expectations, and then “Please welcome Daniel.” 
• Printed student worksheet/workbook placed on chairs (prior to commencement - see below)

Student Workbook

Depending on the program selected, you would have received either a PDF student worksheet or workbook that accompanies this session - an important part of delivery and student engagement. 

​A couple of things to note in relation to the session and workbook:

• For worksheet printing (for Empower Hour sessions), please print on A4 - double sided - and preferably on cardboard paper.
• For workbook printing (for Half or Full Day sessions), please print either on A4 or A5 paper - double sided - and stapled in the middle to create a booklet.
• Please ensure students bring pens to write, and a book to lean on for writing ease and comfort.
• Before students enter the room, please arrange for the worksheets/workbooks to be already placed on the chairs, so once they arrive, the session can be commenced immediately (maximising delivery time). Daniel can also assist in placing the worksheets/workbooks on chairs prior to start while setting up and waiting for students. 
• Students will be asked to complete various exercises during the session.
