Editor's Notes
- Hello and welcome to todays presentation on the proposed Getting to Know Your Global Neighbors Cultural community outreach event. Throughout this presentation we will discuss strategies we can use to include school-wide stakeholders, the plan for event activities, how this event will benefit/influence student global perspectives, and a plan for measuring the overall success of the event.
- What good is putting on an event if no one shows up? There are several strategies we can use to get our school wide stakeholders to participate in our event including: For our K-12 students we can advertise the event via announcements,and school website. We can offer rewards for students who participate in the event such as a free homework pass, bonus points on exam, and/or pizza party for the class with most participation. We can also display student work at the different booths, allowing students the opportunity to show off their accomplishments to family and friends. Students should also be asked to actively participate in the event by performing activities, helping community members find their way around, and/or presenting information. For our Parents we can advertise the events through news letters, school website, and local news paper. Parents should be asked to participate in cultural booths, sharing information and/or talents associated with their culture. We could offer incentives for students whose parents show up (ex. Homework pass, bonus points, etc…), and we could alos inspire parental involvement by having their children participate and/or perform in the event.
- Ways we can get other stakeholders involved includes: School Community Members: This event would provide fun and free entertainment for the whole family while also allowing them to get to know their neghbors. Local Businesses: This would be a greta advertisement opportunity for local businesses. District Leaders: This event would provide an opportunity for district leaders to build public relations and gather support.
- Now that we know how we can lure them in, what do we do with them once we have their attention? What types of events and activities can we implement to ensure optimal participation? We are going to separate the event into four main sections: Culture Celebration Human Rights Issues Global Issues School Information/Family Fun Through the next slides we will look at each section and will discuss what each will entail.
- To begin with we will start with the Culture Celebration Segment to be displayed in the Gymnasium. This event will include booths representing different cultures and there will be demonstrations from the different cultures on the Gymnasium stage throughout the event. Booths will display student work created in their Social Studies, History, and ELA classes as well as any contributions from family and/or community members. Other possible activities that could be included in this portion of the event could include music (by the band, choir, or community members), dance (local dance school or community volunteers), art (art class projects), story telling (community members and/or school faculty), and food (local restraunts).
- Next we will look at the Human Rights Issues section. This portion of the event will be held in the cafeteria along with the Global Issues and will include Booths and stage presentations and student art work displays. Possible activities that could be included in this section could include speeches conducted by school staff, students, and/or community members, the acting out of scenarios by students and/or a local theater company (ex. Bullying and/or racism scenario example), and slide shows.
- Much like the Human Rights Issues section, this portion of the event will also be held in the cafeteria (unless of course we run out of room at which point it will be moved to the common areas) and will include Booths and stage presentations and student art work displays. Possible activities that could be included in this section could include speeches conducted by school staff, students, and/or community members, Science demonstrations conducted by students and/or a local weather company (ex. Pollution, global warming), and slide shows.
- Last but not least we will look at the School Information/Family Fun segment of the event. This portion will be held in the commons areas and the foyers of the hallways that community members will travel through when passing from one section of the event to another. Here we will have tables set up with information on upcoming school events and available services provided by our school (ex. tutoring) as well as by community agencies (ex. Child care, insurance, etc…). We can also use this as an opportunity to sell school paraphernalia (bumper stickers, hoodies, shirts, etc…). This segment will also include fun activities for the family and community members including such activities as sack races, ring toss, musical chairs, etc…
- This event will have positive implications for our students as well as our school and community members. Students will become more culturally aware through the activities leading up to the event, and through participation in the events activities as well. This knowledge should help break down the walls built through prejudice, bias, and stereotypes and will hopefully help decrease/eliminate bullying and teasing issues that may have previously arisen. The event will also help students build empathy for global and human rights issues, and making them aware of the hardships that others face and what we can do to make the world a better place, making them more responsible and active participants in their global communities. Lastly, seeing the community members, families, school staff, and business owners present at their school function will show students that others care about their education and will hopefully inspire pride in the school and community.
- How will we know if our presentation was successful? We will ask. We will provide surveys/questionaires for parents-community members at the event and will also send surveys home with students as well. We will also ask students and school staff to fill out surveys and will track the number of participants who volunteered/participated in the set up and implementation of the activity.
