Work From the Top DownWork From the Top Down
• First stop always…• The School Superintendent• This may be nothing more than an
informational or courtesy visit or stop, but it is vitally important.
• Never, never, blind side the Superintendent
![Page 11: Working With Your Schools](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051117/56815d64550346895dcb6d7a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Step two…• Listen to his or her guidance• Go where you are referred
– Could be the Asst. Superintendent– Could be the PIO– Maybe someone else
![Page 12: Working With Your Schools](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051117/56815d64550346895dcb6d7a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Step Three…• Always, always, contact the building
principal before sending any information to the local school
• Follow his or her guidance• You may get the green light to go directly
to the classroom or you may be sent to someone else in the building
![Page 13: Working With Your Schools](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051117/56815d64550346895dcb6d7a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Step four…• Make certain the information you are
about to present has some relevance for the age group you are going to present to
• Seldom will the same materials appeal to elementary, junior and senior high school students
![Page 14: Working With Your Schools](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051117/56815d64550346895dcb6d7a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Give the classroom teacher a good reason to post your materials in their classroom.
• Take a look at classroom walls…it’s a scary sight !!
• You are competing for space and the ability to visually stimulate the students

Materials to ConsiderMaterials to Consider
• Try to think outside the box• We always think, posters, bookmarks, etc.• Be original and innovative it will get you
into the classroom• Make your offering “stand out” among the
others
![Page 20: Working With Your Schools](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051117/56815d64550346895dcb6d7a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Language diversity is a plus• More and more of our children are
learning, but not yet fluent, in English• Know the languages represented in the
schools you target
![Page 21: Working With Your Schools](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051117/56815d64550346895dcb6d7a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
More is not Always BetterMore is not Always Better
• Finally, think through what you want to do • Think about the audience• Limit the amount of materials you send to
schools• You are more likely to get one piece in the
classroom as opposed to several
![Page 22: Working With Your Schools](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051117/56815d64550346895dcb6d7a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• After you have sent the materials to the school check with the principal about how well they were received
• If possible check with a classroom teacher at each level for an evaluation of the materials
• This will help you in the future
