National Charter Schools Week (NCSW) is just around the corner—May 5th-11th. During National Charter Schools Week, we celebrate achievements in the school house and the state house. These achievements could not have been possible without the commitment of teachers, leaders, parents and advocates from all parts of the country.
We’ve designed a toolkit meant to be used as a simple resource for events and activities in states, and provide some examples and templates for promoting NCSW. The toolkit offers suggestions to promote efforts around:
Public Awareness. Spread the word about NCSW by reaching out to the media, elected officials, and others about the successes of public charter schools in your state and community.
State and Local Events. Invite your elected officials to these events to show them first-hand the great things public charter schools bring to their state and communities.
Advocacy. Speak out about public charter school achievements and the benefits they offer to families across the country by writing letters to the editors of your local and statewide newspapers, contacting your elected officials about why they should support public charter schools, and sharing your public charter school’s achievements via social media.
