Review the master list of presentations.
WE ARE STARTING A MOVEMENT!
Our goal is to engage our colleagues, families, and neighbors in a dialogue about the vital role of an excellent public education system. We want to encourage their support by:
- Informing others about why education is important regardless of whether they have a child in the public school system; and
- Reviewing the dynamic changes of the skill and knowledge requirements of our workforce and the necessary improvements required in our educational system to meet those requirements.
- Sharing opportunities for each person to help through volunteering time, skill and donations/supplies.
A message is being created using the follow content:
- Changes in our global Economy and how that applies to education (Shift Happens Video)
- Education Crossroads information provided by Matt Murray
- Dr. McIntyre’s vision for Knox County Schools; the plan for our community
- New Tennessee State Education Standards and Requirements
We can reach nearly half of Knox County through this grassroots approach. Here are the numbers:
100 volunteers who offer to give 10 presentations with 20 people each. That’s 20,000 people.
At each of those presentations, 1 volunteer commits to give 10 presentations;
That makes 200,000 people - Half of Knox County!
The commitment letter outlines the time commitment and the requirements.
The DEADLINE to sign the letter and send it to us is Friday, October 3rd, 2008.
Will you be able to say, "I helped change Knox County, forever?"
