Emcee Script: Teacher Training/Seminar Opening Program

INTRO
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the _________ TRAINING FOR TEACHERS.
My fellow teachers, it’s that time of year once again – it’s sem break for some but for us it’s
another journey of professional development and hopefully a fun-filled and worthwhile
experience.

That’s right, even if we are not literally taking a break from our role as classroom teachers,
this training/seminar is somewhat a refresher course for us and a perfect opportunity for us to keep
ourselves updated of the educational trends.

Remember, you can’t give what you don’t have so if you want to give more to your students
and to further your commitment in teaching, attending the inset today might just actually be a
right decision.

Since this event is deemed significant, let us officially commence our gathering today by
asking divine intervention as  _____________, a ______________ teacher lead us all in
prayer. This shall be followed by the singing of our National Anthem and the _________hymn . Let us all stand.

PRAYER, NATIONAL ANTHEM, HYMN

Please be seated. To affirm the significance of this event, let us welcome on stage a cool and
supportive ______________(position/profession of speaker)  of ___________ (name of school), let us give a round of applause to _______________(name of speaker).

WELCOME ADDRESS

Thank you Sir/Ma'am ___________.

At this point we shall give due recognition to the most important people of this event. They
are the primary reason of this gathering. Who are these people? Well, I’m referring to you
teachers! This training wouldn’t be possible without your presence.

So to acknowledge the participants today let us all welcome the  _______________ (position/profession of speaker)  of ___________ (name of school),  _______________(name of speaker).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARTICIPANTS

Thank you Sir/Ma’am__________. Your presence is also as important as our participants’.

Now, we know what we came here for. If someone would ask us why we are here, our ready
answer would be to attend the training/seminar but specifically what do you think are our goals of being
here today? Well if you’re not sure yet, let’s listen and be guided as our very own ________________ (position/profession of speaker), gives us the statement of purpose. Let’s give it up for _______________(name of speaker).

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Thank you for the powerful (inspiring, heartfelt, heartwarming, etc) words Ma’am/Sir.
We often stimulate our students’ senses to prepare them for the learning process and today
we are no different from our students. We came here today not as teachers or facilitators but
as learners.

So shall we begin with few muscle stretches and a bit of dance moves before we start the
training?

ENERGIZER

So how do you feel right now? I hope your tired and bored cells in your body were triggered
and activated with that energizer. So I hope you are ready to take on the challenges of today’s
training sessions.

Now if that’s not enough for inspiration, let’s be all ears with our hardworking and supportive
_______________ (position/profession of speaker)  of ___________ (name of school),  let’s give it up for _______________(name of speaker)!

MESSAGE

Thank you Sir/Ma’am for graciously reaching out to us today despite your hectic schedules.
Earlier we had been guided with setting the right goals for this weeklong training. While it is
truly important to have similar goals, it is also necessary to establish the right expectations so
we could move as one, into a single direction.

So at this juncture may we call on the _______________ (position/profession of speaker)  of ___________ (name of school), to set the right expectations for our facilitators and participants. Let’s give a round of applause to _______________(name of speaker)!

 LEVELLING OF EXPECTATIONS
