Teaching Students to Co-Presenting Co-presenting, when done well, is extremely rewarding, and participants benefit from the diversity and variety that two presenters bring to a session. In addition, there are two people to monitor the needs and interests of the group. Co-presenting can take on five main forms: ● Tag Team: In this form of co-presenting, presenters take turns; one is on stage while the other is off. It is the easiest form for beginning co-presenters to take on. One monitors the audience while the other delivers the material. ● Speak and Comment: This form of co-presenting puts both presenters on stage at the same time. One presenter makes a statement; the second presenter adds to it. One leads; the other supports. ● Speak and Chart: In this form of co-presenting, one ● presenter delivers content and elicits participant comments. The supporting presenter serves as a true recorder, publicly recording only what is paraphrased by the main presenter. The visual charting supports group learning and memory, and also serves as a summary document to which participants and presenters may return as needed. ● Perform and Comment: This form of co-presenting is used in skill development. One presenter models a desired skill set while the second presenter offers instructions to the members of the group. The second presenter then monitors group progress and has permission to stop the model at any time to intervene with the entire group for the purpose of skill development.

Duet: In this form of co-presenting, the two presenters balance the space. Their movements are choreographed, as is their language. They both deliver content and both monitor the group. This form of co-presenting is the most complex as it requires the presenters to have common knowledge of all content, to be aware of each other's nonverbal cues, and to trust one another. In its highest form, it is so synchronized that presenters can finish one another's sentences. When done well, it is exquisite to watch, and enjoyable for the audience.
