Welcome
to the Join-a-School Community Resource Guide. The intent of this
database is to assist educators with contact information for
business/community organizations willing to participate in career
exploration activities and/or special one time educational events,
i.e. judging science fairs.
Businesses/organizations are grouped in the database by the
following State Career Pathways:
 |
Arts and
Entertainment |
|
Business Services
|
|
Communications and
Information |
|
Energy and
Environmental Technologies |
|
Engineering,
Construction & Manufacturing |
|
Health & Biosciences
|
|
Hospitality and
Tourism |
|
Other |
There
are two ways to access information:
-
Click on the
appropriate pathway and all entries designated for that career
cluster will appear.
-
Check the index at
the end of the database for a complete listing of all entries,
click on the name and the information will emerge.
Here
are some tips for teachers to follow when using someone listed in
this database:
|
Schools should make
direct contact with speakers and other resource people. |
|
Follow up your
initial contact with a written confirmation. |
|
Two weeks is the
minimum time needed to request a presenter. |
|
Prepare your students
for the presentation by linking it to the curriculum and to
standards. |
|
Notify the office
that you will have a speaker coming. |
|
If appropriate, have
a student in the office to meet the guest and act as an escort. |
|
Get some background
information so that someone can introduce the speaker. |
|
Teachers should
remain in the classroom with the presenter at all times and be
responsible for the behavior of the class. |
|
Please have the
students send thank you notes directly to the speaker. |
|
Call the
Join-a-School office if there are concerns about any listing in
this database or to give us feedback about how we can improve. |
