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. What Do Our School Look Like… 2357 Public School Buildings 521 Private School Buildings 1,035,765 Public School Students 85,000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c2abaa/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. What Do Our School Look Like… 2357 Public School Buildings 521 Private School Buildings 1,035,765 Public School Students 85,000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c2abaa/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. What Do Our School Look Like… 2357 Public School Buildings 521 Private School Buildings 1,035,765 Public School Students 85,000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c2abaa/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. What Do Our School Look Like… 2357 Public School Buildings 521 Private School Buildings 1,035,765 Public School Students 85,000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c2abaa/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. What Do Our School Look Like… 2357 Public School Buildings 521 Private School Buildings 1,035,765 Public School Students 85,000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c2abaa/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. What Do Our School Look Like… 2357 Public School Buildings 521 Private School Buildings 1,035,765 Public School Students 85,000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c2abaa/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. What Do Our School Look Like… 2357 Public School Buildings 521 Private School Buildings 1,035,765 Public School Students 85,000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c2abaa/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
