<i style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">..we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”</span></i></div>
<i><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></i>
This is <span style="color: #0b5394;">Ephesians 2:10</span> from the Holy Bible. This should give you a food for thought, how beautiful can words make a thought, a life and a people. This should all begin with children, even better at school. Considering how religion can improve the way a student should look at human beings, animals and the society and give his or her best, it is important that schools count in religious education in school.<br />
The concept of ‘Learning from Religion’ will introduce world religions to children aged 4 to 11 years. What will such sections comprise? Students may be asked to read a passage of Holy Scripture or shown a statue or a picture arousing the interest in children about the gifts it might offer children. This kind of study not only challenges the imagination of students, but also emphasizes their value system with a typical consciousness for identification and empathy for people. This kind of religious education is being taught at schools in the USA full-fledged. Both primary and public schools are placing religious education as one of the primary bases for student development. Let us see how catholic schools deliver valuable religious education to their students:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Creation and Evolution: The catholic school way of teaching</span></b><br />
Catholics preach that God has created all things, both visible and invisible. Catholic schools do not seem to follow the theological truths mentioned in the first books of Genesis. These truths are also genuinely based on science and historic accounts of the staring of the existence of the world. Catholic schools do not teach how and when everything in this world was created by God.<br />
Catholic schools offering religious education amplify the richness of the faith in Catholicism, preach about uniting with Christ in his Church. <a href="http://www.k12-lists.com/catholic-schools-email-list/" target="_blank">Catholic schools</a> tend to varied sets of learners and considering this context, the Religious Education Curriculum Directory makes the goals of Religious Education clear, which are:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Offering appealing and an all-engaging content as a torch lighting the knowledge and comprehension of the Catholic faith;</li>
<li>Facilitating constant deepening of understanding in the religious and theological Catholic beliefs in students and assisting them in connecting with the same and communicate it effectively;</li>
<li>Displaying a genuine vision of the Church related to its moral and social philosophies so that students can make an assessment of the fundamental trends in this contemporary social atmosphere;</li>
<li>Nurturing students’ consciousness of the Catholic faith as well as awareness of the traditions of other religious communities so that they can respect them too;</li>
<li>Portraying the practical abilities of students which they can use for relating their Catholic faith to their day-to-day lives;</li>
<li>Inspiring the imagination in students to arouse a yearning for inner meaning as displayed by the preaching of the Catholic faith;</li>
<li>Empowering students to apply the knowledge achieved from Religious Education to their comprehension of other subjects in their syllabus;</li>
<li>Clarifying the connection of life and faith, and faith and culture.</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Religious Education results in young pupils becoming literate the religious way and more comprehensible, understanding and skilled, complimenting their age and abilities – to act and react morally, and think virtuously and religiously.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="" border="0" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil8XmdfXzr198bZqcOl1bkp0MO57rcehVDK5Cbbzx3ROscG6oXmN7E5FysuBaKsK7X2m7bQp1ESgXkzRduNMIF8F817KltYZulWYvp5mxqgRIbb2Zqo-f5Fr1rIETLcIFi54bTtcnZ56ZI/s320/High-School-Lunch-Room.jpg" title="" width="320" /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Students' Food Supervision</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
High schools in the USA permit students aged between 14 - 18 years for grades 9th to the 12th. While academics, students mental health and physical health can be taken care of by such schools, most of them earn a bad name due to their inadequate food provisions. In such cases, teenagers complain of being overweight and obese. There are many risks related to teen-age obesity like diet-based noncontagious diseases. In <span style="color: #0b5394;">Advances in preventive Medicine</span>, published in 2015, a survey was done on 431 school adolescents, and the result was 12.3% overweight prevalence while obesity being 4.4%.<br />
<br />
In such serious conditions, USA high schools need to become more strict about their students’ food intake. Most schools have already begun taking major steps in this regard.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">School Health Program for physical activity and nutrition </span></b><br />
A Coordinated School Health Program incorporates eight elements of the school community that is directed towards providing student health. Those are:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>physical education,</li>
<li>health education,</li>
<li>nutrition services,</li>
<li>health services,</li>
<li>psychological counseling, </li>
<li>social services,</li>
<li>healthy school atmosphere,</li>
<li>family and community co-operation</li>
</ul>
<br />
Through this program a orderly approach to nourishing student health can be taken. This approach requires systematic assessment of data on students’ health records, sound science and understanding of loopholes and repetitiveness in school health programs, and then decision-making. In 2004, 23 state educational institutes were funded by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to set up state-level base to execute Coordinated School Health Programs.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Appoint a school health coordinator to run a school health council</span></b><br />
When it comes to handling and managing a school health program, a co-ordinator is required to keep every school health program, activity, policy and resources aligned. A school health council consists of members coming from various sectors of the school community, inclusive of <a href="http://www.k12-lists.com/school-administrators-email-list/" target="_blank">school administrators</a>, health care providers, teachers, students, social service activists, religious and civic bodies, and parents. The SHC guides school health coordinators and educational administrators to implement better school health activities and conduct mass meetings for school health workshops. A <span style="color: #0b5394;">school health coordinator </span>(SHC) assists the school in building a base for health activities as part of the primal goals of the school in concern and the school district. SHCs have improved school health and physical education curriculum and have aided schools and districts to bring about significant changes in school atmosphere. Few of these changes are:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>the introduction of highly effective nutrition standards, </li>
<li>Implementation of walking activities for students and staff, and </li>
<li>Keeping school facilities open for physical activity workshops post-school</li>
</ul>
<br />
United States and high school communities can, through their commendable health improving activities, exhibit that health obstacles like overweight and obesity can be subdued. Only if effective plan of action can be enforced and high schools can support such actions, students’ health concerns be taken care off and can be the mental and physical health of young lives can be improved through healthy eating habits.<br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "calibri";"><i>“Innovation with the right intention never loses its way but meets the right destination.”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Innovation, meaning bringing in novelty, unconventionality, dynamics, and separation from norms. In education it can bring technology-based teaching methods, field studies, community-based teachings, etc. Have you heard of the floating school? Lagos, Nigeria has one like that named Makoko Floating School. Better even to think of a school that is unbiased towards particular gender, like Egalia pre-school in Stockholm. So, what have K12 schools in the U.S. to offer to the education sector in the coming times? We do not know, but what we know is progress is already begun on these lines, and we are yet to witness. For now, let us concentrate on the already talked about innovative American K12 schools:</span></div>
<div align="justify" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<b><u><span class="16" style="font-family: "calibri"; letter-spacing: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">E3 Civic High (San Diego, California)</span></span></u></b><b><u><span class="16" style="color: #0070c0; font-family: "calibri"; letter-spacing: 0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">San Diego Public Library has the best charter high school named e3 Civic high school. This school was founded in 2013. The school largely depends on its library for new innovations in education. E# considers the library its home that provides co-education to its students. So, if you hear about the number of books the students have access to, you will be impressed. Let us give you an estimate here: say bout 409 students are able to access to 1.2 million plus books in the library. Added to this, reading rooms, art gallery and auditorium are within the students’ access all the time. Do you like the idea of motor or vehicle themed classrooms? So, there you have it all set in e3. The classrooms have furniture on wheels; and walls are meant for building on ideas, problem solving, etc., given the fact that 77% of its students are below poverty level. What do they offer as part of their education curriculum? Biotechnology, medical biology and Bio Engineering. Wonder if every school provides a MacBook Air computer; this school allows high schoolers to take it home.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Some charter schools are limited to the 8th grade. But that does not keep it from innovating new ways of grooming student development. STAR is a K-8 charter school that is environment inclined. So, how did begin? They opened in 2001, and provided power the school with 245 solar panels and two wind generators. The school holds Arizona’s largest Native American Reservation with 130 students as members of both the regional community and Navajo Nation. Environmental sustainability is integrated in the school curriculum. They conduct a program named "farm to school," which facilitated the supply of fresh fruits produces in the neighboring Navajo farms. These are included in school lunches. This process also included students’ tour to farms that help them to learn about agriculture and the local and neighboring community.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This charter high school happened in 2005, and is known for its anti-bullying mission. When the school witnessed 196 students experiencing harassment or bullying in their former schools, it took it into serious consideration to protect students of any class, ability and economic status from domineering situations. Other challenges that school faced was to help students about 76% of them from low-income families and 28% with disabilities to get involved in extracurricular activities that teach them about various societal norms, cultures, tastes. They were introduced to unexplored communities soas to increase their awareness against bullying. So, most students go back as messengers of anti-bullying.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">There are various organizations associating with such schools to contribute to their development. If there is any difficulty, it is with ignorance, which if shed, a lot many positive changes will appear in the k12 schools. </span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>“<span style="font-size: small;">If your actions inspire
others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a
leader.” – President John Quincy Adams</span></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />The education
industry is growing fast and the decision makers leave no stones
unturned when it comes to making schools well-equipped with the most
recently introduced technology, books, food and educational facilities.
As per the published 2013 data by BLS, Education Administrators in
elementary, middle, and <a href="http://www.k12-lists.com/high-schools-email-list/" target="_blank">high schools</a> earned a salary worth $90,670. 226,760 of such school educational administrators were employed across the USA.<br /><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><u>Tests a School Administrator should take</u></b></span><br />It
begins with earning a teaching certificate, so that the state will
accept the applicants in the teaching position. Alongside, the states
will also ask for a certificate that proves the passing of an
administration exam so that the applicant can use it to apply for the
school administrator position later. The Administration and Supervision
exam for PRAXIS Educational Leadership is what most states will conduct
and accept, while other states may have their specific examination.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Scores
for all competency exams may differ from state to state, and sometimes
even from district to district, so the cutoff scores may also differ as
per the district the applicant decides to work in. This allows proper
decision-making in setting the career base as a school administrator.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;"><u><b>Educational Administrator’s job positions</b></u></span><br />What
makes a school administrator an educational administrator? The answer
is diligence and willingness to explore the uncertainties coming in the
way. To become an inspirational leader, manager and educator at school, a
school administrator must provide the adequate tools to students they
need to develop their cognitive skills and understandings of the
environment. It is very similar to functioning like a CEO at charge in a
company. Education administrators have various roles to play in
preschools, schools and colleges. Let us run you through a few positions
educational administrators may hold in schools:</span><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Preschool Director or Dean</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">School Principal</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Vice or Assistant principal</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">School Superintendent</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">School District Administrator </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">College or University President</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Private School Dean </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Admissions Director </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /><u><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>School Administrator Job Role</b></span></u></span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;">To hire and supervise teachers</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">To prepare and discuss balance budgets</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">To make school rules and policies</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">To plan calendars for academic events and school holidays</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">To involve in public relations</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">To supervise student recruitment and admissions</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">To supervise school requirements like finances, infrastructure, extra-curricular activities for students, etc. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;">Schools
have huge student counts and the responsibility of a school
administrator increases with every student taking admission. So, it
needs someone with a strategical bent of mind that amplifies his or her
leadership and communication abilities. This position should be give to a
person who can easily interact with school teachers, students and their
parents and also collaborate with community members during different
events. An organized mind patient enough to effectively juggle different
day-to-day responsibilities can become a worthy education administrator
at the school level. </span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Public School Teachers in USA</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Did you know America is accepting teachers from all parts of the word? Yes, and the best part is a particular certification is required for the same. With English-as-a-second-language certification, teachers can easily get into <a href="http://www.k12-lists.com/public-school-districts-email-list/" target="_blank">public schools</a> in the USA or into adult English-as-a-second-language programs. There are regions with proven migrations of refugee communities. People from such communities send their children to public schools and so teachers teaching in such schools are in high demand. Mentioning a few of the places in America accepting English-as-a-second-language teachers are- Florida, California, Illinois, Texas, New York, and other countries. This includes urban as well as rural areas. ESL teaching and other education-based jobs in the USA are drafted under strict employment terms and conditions.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<b><u><span style="color: #073763;">In case of Public Schools- From Pre K–12</span></u></b><br />
<br />
<br />
As much as teaching is a good job in the USA, but there are ground rules for every benefiting job. In U.S. public schools, teaching positions need a teaching license, issued by the state they want to work in, from the applicant in subjects they prefer to teach. Most will refer to this license as a certificate or certification. But remember, this certificate is way different from certificates like Trinity, CELTA and others, as they are not applicable for employment in USA public schools.So teachers looking forward to applying in public schools in the United States, should acquire this certificate as a licensure that through the Education Department in the state in which they plan to work. Every state has different academic requirements that the candidates need to meet. At least a Bachelor's degree in education is necessary for licensure, though Master’s degree is what of the states are looking forward to.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #073763;">Licensure requirements </span></b></div>
About licensure requirements- every teacher needs to show that despite originating from a specific country in which they acquired their education. For those who receive degrees in TESOL or a degree in a related field in one of the United States, may have an plus-point in getting through a U.S. public school. So, if you need a licensure, apply for a university program in TESOL as it is designed in a way that fits best for the state licensure. But if you hold a degree in a field different from TESOL, you have to apply for a coursework in TESOL to be added as a supplement. If the degree has been obtained outside the USA, you will have to furnish elaborate details of your coursework looking at which the state licensure authorities will evaluate the validity of your certification.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><span style="color: #073763;">Adult and Higher Education</span></u></b></div>
<br />
Adult educational programs offer certain ESL instructions, and these are provided local education institutes that build community-driven programs. The immigrants to the United States may want to learn speaking in English and understand the U.S. culture along side. Such programs are held during the day and during the evenings, and at time during weekends to fit in with the work schedule of adult learners. The majority of ESL teaching positions in adult education are part-time. To teach such learners, state certification is required along with a master's degree in TESOL or a similar field.<br />

Right after hearing its name, some tiny fluffy clouds start wandering around our heads. Each of them has its own little mailbox full of “hush-hush” exclamations and whispering explanations about the strange world inside strict restrictive walls of catholic schools. The unending list of myths regarding their nature of providing academic training has always raised the eyebrows of the <a href="http://www.k12-lists.com/public-secondary-schools-email-list/" target="_blank">public schooling </a>system followers. Let’s dig a bit deeper, shall we? Here we are going to discuss 4 major misconceptions about catholic schools, that has no foundation of accuracy beneath it.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<b></b><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><b><br /></b></b>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Only for rich kids</span></b></span><br />
No, not at all!! This is one of the major misconceptions that people have about Catholic Schools. The average <b>education cost of a student is between $6,000 to $8,000</b> in catholic schools, where in public schools the amount of expenditure ranges between $10,000 to $14,000 and in private school it is $15,000 to $25,000. Besides, you can always talk to the administrators about your family financial issues, they do cooperate. Usually, catholic schools offer school uniform resale every end of the year. Grabbing this opportunity will help you to save a certain amount of your expenditure. When it comes to the fees, again there is enough space for negotiation from your side- you just have to take the initiative.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Only priests and sisters can provide the ideal 'catholic school training'</span></b><br />
The nuns and priests are teaching, right? No? Oh my God! What kind of “catholic school” is this?- Well, ladies and gentlemen, please try to draw a line between the mystic path of religion and the hardcore real world of academic learning- you need specialists for that, which means “the teachers”. The priests and sisters can monitor the classrooms and school students, but they can only take the role of “<a href="http://www.k12-lists.com/teachers-email-list/" target="_blank">teachers</a>” if they actually have real-life experience or knowledge of teaching.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Students do not learn how to face the "real world" outside</span></b><br />
Again, this is wrong! Actually, they have a better understanding of the society and its various inner aspects. From the very beginning of their academic journey, catholic schools always prepare their students to face the obstacles of real outside world and fight with the social inequalities. Consequently, the students not only become able to develop a <b>strong academic foundation</b> standing on which they can confidently proceed their further journey, but also psychologically they become very strong that they can strongly hold their ground with the power of<b> positivity and truthfulness</b> no matter how harsh their surrounding environment becomes.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Just for Catholics</span></b><br />
Again, my friend, this is completely wrong! Students from any family and faith background can join catholic schools for their education. It is completely wrong idea that you have to be a “catholic” to get admission into a catholic school.<br />
<br />
So, please don’t get tangled in the web of misconceptions. When it comes to choosing an institution for the enriched academic education of your child- these schools will never be a disappointment.<br />

What makes a secondary school worth studying in for a student? In most cases, what the school offers in terms of education tools or applications that kindle the interest in them to do better in their studies and understand technology even better. The role of classroom technology helps students understand the usage of a new tool that is designed to improve their learning. Education apps may increase in number, but secondary schools need to stick to certain apps and tools that adhere to the secondary school education pattern. Let us walk you through 6 most used education apps and tools in secondary schools:<br />

High school is a very crucial stage for building up a student's academic career. This specific stage helps the students to enhance knowledge, as well as prepare them to face the “real world” outside. After completing primary education, students start their journey towards the higher academic path. High schools are the primary base - standing on which students begin their journey of specialized education. This very period allows them to gradually proceed towards their dream of becoming someone. But, wait! First, you have to make sure that you are mentally/intellectually and emotionally prepared to crack the admission tests! The academic pressure is going to be a lot and it’s a good idea to know if you are <b>cut out for the high school life or not!</b><br />

The USA has 9 million plus students attending public <a href="http://www.k12-lists.com/middle-schools-email-list/" target="_blank">middle schools</a>. The term ‘middle’ suggests the intermediary. In America, middle schools are the bridge between elementary schools and high schools. These schools may comprise <span style="color: #0b5394;">grades from 6 to 8</span>; so this indicates the phase of the early teens. But research has to say that Middle schools have adverse effect on students’ behavior. Some teens show aloofness, estrangement from school, and less accomplishment.<br />
<br />
So, how did the middle school concept begin? What was the aim behind its establishment? History accounts back to the 1980s, when education reformers took a firm decision on supporting the middle schooling concept. So, instead of using the age-old junior high school, they intended to build an educational platform exclusive to young teenagers. The grade system was changed from grades 7 to 9 to grades 6-8 for developing student responsiveness towards this new structure and education practices.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8xjKE7hjBo9Vqj6xZtZu9nvcMPqZnWBzkCTk_ZiuRs2iasy4hJ92IrMUjb0vKgpQ5Vh0IVzOmUDQpZitTAiNBr93lcJ51kmcc9rBQcDzYmWP_SxEPOYHafQhuMn3avxuu8z9To5wKyyKX/s1600/Middle+Schools.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="List of Middle Schools in USA" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8xjKE7hjBo9Vqj6xZtZu9nvcMPqZnWBzkCTk_ZiuRs2iasy4hJ92IrMUjb0vKgpQ5Vh0IVzOmUDQpZitTAiNBr93lcJ51kmcc9rBQcDzYmWP_SxEPOYHafQhuMn3avxuu8z9To5wKyyKX/s1600/Middle+Schools.jpeg" title="Middle Schools Email List" /></a></div>
<br />
While, this approach has brought about the well-being of middle school students as it has found involvement from dedicated educators, groundbreaking reformers, and private educational foundation; middle schools, in general, have not yet been able to fight the various challenges to their full potential. 4 major challenges in the face of middle schooling are:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">Academic progress consistent yet slow</span><br /><br />Since the 1970s, till this date, approximately <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900934/" target="_blank">70% of the U.S.public-school students in the 8th grade has been failing to acquire higher level of achievement</a> in national tests based on subjects such as Science and Maths. Not only this, Afro-American kids and Latinos have demonstrated low performance in reading and reciting as compared to their white peers. This is irrespective of their parents having college education. Summer programs including reading practicals by schools before the students reach the 6th grade and Math courses after that will surely pull the bar up in developing their cognitive skills, memory and analytical skills.<br /><br /></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">Not-so positive factors affecting student behavior</span><br /><br />The conditions for learning that can become the major reasons behind the students’ cognition absorbing ability are still very infirm. For instance, <span style="color: #0b5394;">social-emotional factors</span> and motivational reasons affect the well-being and academic performance. The signs of students’ detachment from practical and social happenings and surroundings, not only mean low interest in extra-curricular activities, but also mean that their overall mental achievement will be quite less. As per National school safety statistics any physical conflict happening in middle schools can lead to emotional suffering within students which can perturb their academic performance. A school-wide anti-bullying program should be introduced to make them understand social norms and what they should avoid to diminish their antisocial conduct.<br /><br /></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">Loopholes in the administration and teaching</span><br /><br />It is unfortunate, but over the years, most middle schools in the U.S.A. have had teachers with no major or minor degree or certification in the subjects they have been appointed to teach young teenagers. Their development training is at risk as there is <span style="color: #0b5394;">no evidence-based framework of teachers’ training</span> showing their professional development. This evidence-based professional training model should be adopted in order to better subject-specific expertise and pedagogical skills. Principals too lack proper training in disciplinary issues which compresses the time and effort they could invest in other leadership functions. Having discussed roles, especially management roles, principals can foster their managerial responsibilities to create a school environment that contributes to training and learning.

<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">Lack of parental support</span><br /><br />The declining parental involvement as students get promoted to middle schools, as per research, shows how the effect of middle schools can be kind of negative on a middle school student’s emotional growth. Middle schools need to build curriculum that includes activities that boost the bonding between the students and their parents. These activities can be payed at home while making child-parent mental compatibility even stronger.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #990000;">What could be done to bring about a reform?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">New Models for Child reform</span></b></div>
<br />
No Child Left Behind Act brought about states to build school accountability arrangements based on student assessments held annually. Such school reforms give way to professional development training that caters to academic achievements and the mental development of young adolescents. If enforced in full swing, these models will strengthen middle schools to achieve higher levels of laurels that are intended by <span style="color: #0b5394;">NCLB</span> for all schools. But, here lies a slight problem, and that is the academic testing proposed may just concentrate on students’ leveling up as per their academic achievements and not so much on their developmental requirements. Though academic excellence depends partly on their development too. Apart from this, proper federal and state backup should make schools and students meet the new reforms. This type and reach of the new middle-grade standards efforts needs the coordinated support of different foundations. Coherence between the right student conditions and institutional improvement will boost student development and educational evolution in the middle schools in America.

<br />
If you need progress, you need to accept change and change comes with new thought, and new beginning; which USA is nurturing. <a href="http://www.k12-lists.com/" target="_blank">K12 Lists</a> encourages this idea with its belief in the American school education system, and that shows in its exclusive finds of <a href="http://www.k12-lists.com/middle-schools-email-list/" target="_blank">email list of middle schools in USA</a>.</div>

<span style="color: maroon;">“<span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What
is interesting is the power and the impact of social media...So we
must try to use social media in a good way.” </span></span></span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;">Social media is a
magical wonder of technology that can simply dismiss the idea of
“communication gap” by connecting the whole world with its one
solid string. But, it is also an undeniable fact that social media
creates severe addiction. A recent research came out with a report
that </span><a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/12-social-media-facts-statistics-know-2016/" target="_blank">75% of all internet users are attached with social media network(s)</a><span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;">.
Another research has shown, </span><span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>92%
teen social media users come online regularly</b></span></span><span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;">-
within that percentage <a href="http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/04/09/teens-social-media-technology-2015/" target="_blank">24% of them accepted the fact that they stay online “almost constantly”</a>.</span><span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;"> In the teenage years, when students are going through their</span><span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>
middle school education period</b></span></span><span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;">,
they are not just increasing their intellectual level through
academic training, during this time, they are also gradually becoming
more and more exposed towards the outer world and environment. At
this crucial time, when they step inside the world of social media
networking, it brings some serious changes in their academic, social
and personal lives. </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;">Let's take a look
exactly <b>how middle schools can improve their teenager students'
academic foundation</b> by including social media into their
education.</span><br />

students' participation</b></span></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;">If middle school
teachers include social media within their academic training and
allow their students to use social media with certain clauses and
limits, it will <b>increase their attachment with studies</b> and the
students will be more interested to participate in their education
and classroom activities than earlier.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: maroon;"><span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Easy,
fast and flexible tool for sharing content</b></span></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;">If used correctly,
social media can create a strong <b>bridge between middle school
students and the teachers</b>. Through proper and continuous
communication, teachers can <b>share every online academic resources</b>
with their students quickly and very easily. The students can also
acquire those contents only through the clicks of their fingers. </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: maroon;"><span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Assistance
for homework</b></span></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;">Social media can
help the students even in the time of homework. Using social media
networks as tools they can connect with their respective teachers and
classmates whenever they feel stuck anywhere. By getting<b>
spontaneous response,</b> students can <b>smoothly overcome the
complications of their subjects</b> and can get hold of the subjects
more effectively.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: maroon;"><span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Bringing
all in the same page at once</b></span></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;">Social media can
help the students and the teachers to maintain successful<b> two-way
communication.</b> By using social media parents of those students
can also connect with respective teachers and can communicate them
directly if needed. Not only that, teachers can post and share class
events and activities through social media. This will help both <b>the
students and their guardians to be aware of class activities</b> and
prepare themselves accordingly.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: maroon;"><span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Teaching
proper use of social media</b></span></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;">If school personnel
encourage the students to use social media as academic and
communication tool, they will also guide them about the <b>proper
ways of using social media</b> and <b>stay safe from its
disadvantageous effects</b>. In this manner, middle school students
will be able to use social media effectively without getting into
complications like cyber-bullying. By learning the proper usage
method, middle school students will be able to keep themselves away
from any kind of addiction by maintaining healthy use of social media
networking sites.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "liberation" serif , serif;">How
social media is distracting<b> the middle school students</b> from
their academic orientation is a known fact. For example, a large
section of this age group is literally addicted to social media and
constantly getting detached from general human communication. Some of
them are the victims of cyber-bullying incidents. But, all
technological invention till now has brought some of its own benefits
and costs along with it. Similarly, Social media also has its own
disadvantages, but it can <b>mould the middle school students' career
orientation</b> to the right way by allowing them to use it as a tool
of their own intellectual and social advancement. </span>

<span style="color: #0c343d;">Principal is a leader guiding schools to better teaching and learning. They are always in a paradoxical position. As we all know that old educational programs are no longer suitable because it did not match the industry needs and requirements. So it is highly required for principals to bring in change to their schools. Here are few highly effective changes that Principals need to really improve their schools. They are:</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Discipline:</b> It is nothing but guiding students and helping them to learn what is expected, and it is main the thing that principal need to concentrate on. It is a key component to effective school management. Every individual has their own type of discipline to follow, henceforth every Principal have their own discipline strategy which they try to introduce in their schools. These different types of disciplines are categorized into 3 types and they are Preventative Discipline, Corrective Discipline and Supportive Discipline. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Academic curriculum:</b> Principals should identify the potential in students and help them to develop academic confidence and independence. Academic curriculum is lessons taught in a specific school program. They should be designed and developed in such a way that areas of challenge may be strengthened and help students to reach their road to success. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Extracurricular activities:</b> As we all know that extracurricular fall outside the domain of the normal curriculum of school, so School Principal need to give the same importance to it. Principal should allow students to get involved in activities outside the classroom as involving in extracurricular have various beneficiaries such as student-led initiatives.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Nurturing student teacher relationship:</b> Principal's main role in improving their school is to nurture student teacher relationship. In order to make it easy, there should be a lot of interactions between students and teachers and also teachers should be friendly with their students and help them solve all their academic activities. Principal should make way for students to communicate to their teachers at every level and not only during specific 40 minutes course period. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Building relationship with other schools:</b> Principal should build a positive relationship with other schools so that students can take part in inter-school academic and extra curricular activities, so that they will have higher scope for improvement and will learn new things. And also should allow students to work closely with each other to meet their mutual goals. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">However, School Principal, as an administrator should think wisely about their educational mission, academic program, community relationships and organizational structure. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">When we talk about schools first thing comes to our mind is "Teachers". If you are reading this, it just because of a Teacher. Only teachers can teach a broad spectrum of subjects including science, math, English, art and even technology. They also teach in different classroom settings like active learning, scaffolded learning, sheltered instruction and many more. Teachers have a huge ramification on many aspects in their career as in the USA there are two types of Schools and they are Public Schools and Private Schools which includes elementary schools, high schools, junior high schools and senior high schools where each classroom is a different setting and has it's own challenges and benefits. Teachers can be classified into different categories such as funny teachers, strict teachers, friendly teachers, perfectionist teachers and lenient teachers. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Now lets us take a look at different types of teachers in US Schools,</span><br />

As there are different grade levels, there will be different teacher teaching for each grade as there will be different phases of development and students needs also vary from time to time. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Subject Teachers</b>: Subject Teachers will be teaching various subjects to students including math, science and English. They mainly focus on one subject either it can be science, art, technology or etc. as they should focus on a specific discipline. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Music Teachers</b>: Every School will be having a teacher for teaching Music for students as an extra subject. Music Teachers will provide instructions in music theory and performance. They will be having music education and have proficiency in musical instruments and be able to read music so that they can transfer them to their students. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Dance Teachers</b>: Dance is a performance art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. Dance teachers are the one who transfers dance performance skills and knowledge to students. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">One of the best ways to extract knowledge is by having regular interaction with teachers, as they provide the best solution for most of the problems and equations. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #073763;">Are you constrained by tight budgets?</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #073763;">Are your marketing channels inadequate?</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #073763;">Have you ever thought about the power students have to implement a marketing program?</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Students are great source of getting your marketing plan into action. Not only are they enthusiastic, they are diligent, creative and resourceful. You may wonder if this concept would be favored by educators and schools. This idea provides students with an opportunity to learn how ‘real world’ planning and implementation takes place. Given the opportunity they get to learn and the exposure they obtain to potential employers is a strong point that gains a positive vote from school administrations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Like using any other channel strategy, you need to make a plan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul><div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;">

<li><span style="color: #073763;">You need make a plan and select schools that are best suited to build the program</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">You need to assign a teacher to handle day-to-day operation of the program</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">You need to set aside dollars for your student ‘agency’ to manage and include rewards as a part of the budget.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">You need to spend time to discus and guide your student agency to support their efforts in implementing the plan.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">While using a student group to create, manage and implement your marketing plan, there are few aspects that need to be kept in mind:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Give yourself at least six months to draft a plan and select the best suited schools.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Set aside at a month to communicate your concept to schools you plan on working with. It is important that you have strong support from teachers and administrators.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Ensure the teacher assigned to manage your program is committed and is driven to ensure a successful outcome.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Keep your student agency in the loop from the beginning. Treat them as you treat a professional agency. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">During implementation, it will be productive to measure the performance of the student agency and provide constructive feedback and guidance to help them perform better.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Make sure to acknowledge and reward students and teachers who are actively involved and providing positive results.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Get your management involved to reward participants with recognition letters and certificates.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">By keeping these aspects in mind, it is possible to utilize a group of students to implement your marketing plan. The end result is that, in a few hundred dollars and little time on management, you have a rocking plan and an effective and low-cost marketing channel.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Introducing a product in the education market is a challenge, especially with tight budgets and changing landscape in the education industry. </span></div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">So, how do you ensure your pilot product is accepted? </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">How do you ensure it is suitable for a school or district?</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">How do you ensure you achieve satisfaction, loyalty and referrals?</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">These challenges were discussed by Glen McCandless on BlogTalkRadio with Farimah Schuerman and Mitch Weisburgh, Partners in Academic Business Advisors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>What Preparations are required before launching a product?</b></span></div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">The product has to be ready to use and implement. The company has to be confident that the product will work, is safe and effective.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">A defined market penetration plan needs to be prepared. Before launching a product, a defined plan should be set as to which market you would like to target. Those schools need to be selected which will have a good impact from implementation of your product or service. You need to consider whether the school is stable and if the district is functional to avoid challenges in the future. Selection could also be done based on geography and profile of schools suitable to your products or service.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">There are 2 types of pilot products:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>a.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A start up pilot product</b> – This kind of product implementation s is usually in the early adoptive stage and is accepted by schools willing to take the risk of implementing a new product. When launching a product at such a stage, it is important to set expectations in the beginning and provide strong service and support. At this time, it’s not about profits, its more about gaining satisfaction, building loyalty and gaining referrals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>b.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A trial product </b>– Many schools / districts like to try out product before completely adopting or implementing it. At this stage it best to align product implementation with the school.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>How is social media used to leverage successful pilot launches</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">In order for a product launch to be successful, what needs to be done is to:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Understand the problem</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Identify the implications of the problem</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Get to know what the school did before your product / service was introduced</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">How your product solved or will solve the problem</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">What were the results – whether in terms of student achievement, teacher performance or cost savings</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Once you find this information, you can create a story that can be shared in the market place through social media channels. This will help in showcasing how your products / service benefited the school and the problem that it solved. This success story can be distributed across channels through your website, blog, twitter or through video testimonials.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">An important aspect to consider is that social media activity in a company should not be considered as a marketing task. Instead it should be assigned to someone who need not necessarily be a marketing person, it could be someone who is just comfortable using social channels. This will help in making social media interaction natural and not as forced communication.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">With too many pilot products being introduced and implemented, companies need to ensure they are prepared, that they have defined goals, set expectations, relevant selection criteria and reliable service and support. This will help them establish a strong relationship with schools and districts, and will help in creating loyalty, referrals and sales.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">“78 percent of Internet users look online for information about a service or product they are thinking of buying”, according to the Pew Research Center. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Like everyone, even educators go online to find information about educational products. They read digital publications and are active on social networking sites. There is an emerging trend of ‘edu-bloggers’ who write personal blogs and about their experience and interactions with education marketing companies and the use of products. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">This group of education experts, education technologists and passionate teachers are nowadays actively blogging, podcasting and conducting webinars. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Why you need to connect with this group?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">These social communities provide a huge opportunity to communicate, interact and listen to this strategic group of decision makers.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Educators are more likely to buy products that are recommended by other educators about those organizations that understand and support their needs.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">This is a good avenue to build public relations and gain brand visibility through word-of-mouth advertising.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;">You need to observe online conversations</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;">You need to share product information through various channels</span></div>

Connect With Them!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Even been to a school bake sale lately?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">These enthusiast groups of parents play more than just a role of distributing cookies. They now are strong influencers in the decisions schools make and in the development of education marketing plans.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The responsibility of decision making which was once reserved for paid staff of administrators and teachers is now taken over by parents. Dollars spent by schools on education and teaching material are now predominantly decided by parent groups such as Parent Teachers Associations and Parent Teacher Organizations (PTO).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Consider this:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Most of 80,000+ K-8 schools in the US have a parent group in form or the other.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">77% of these K-8 groups are independent PTOs working at schools their kids are enrolled in.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">Approximately $2 billion is amount they generate yearly mainly from fundraising events, donations and auctions at schools. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">And this $2 billion is spent on school equipment, curriculum material and education software. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">This is a huge opportunity for education marketers and connecting with this group influencers in the education market is as important as targeting administrators and educators.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>So, How to Sell to PTAs and PTOs?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">When selling to PTAs and PTOs, marketers need to have a slightly different approach.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">The product should be lower priced than those sold to school administrations.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">There should be a commitment to providing support in order to make selling easier and profitable.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;">The products should be designed such that it’s easily consumable and is made for frequent purchase.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #073763; text-align: justify;">The important aspect in selling to PTS and PTOs is to address a pain-point and provide a solution. Marketers can easily generate sales from schools provided they have a relevant products and a well defined marketing and support plan. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Make parent groups as an ally</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Provide valuable resources</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Like any other sector, the education industry is also driven by social media. And those marketers not in the network are surely missing out on opportunities to engage and connect with education thought leaders and decisions makers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">In a recent discussion between Glen McCandless, Founder and President of Focus Marketing and Charlene Blohm, Founder & President, C. Blohm & Associates, they discussed social media channels used by educators and how educators can join these networks to connect with thought leaders in the education industry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Here are the key takeaways:</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">As the use of social media by educators and school administrators continues to increase, marketers need to be up to date and present at the right place and right time in order to be heard. They need to use the power of social media to connect with and engage their target market relevantly.</span></div>

<li><span style="color: #073763;">And when it comes to making a decision, administrators find it difficult to differentiate between one products or service from another.</span></li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;"><i><b>90%</b> of decision makers mentioned they prefer having a conversation over watching a slide show.</i></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;"><i><b>67%</b> of them stated they preferred buying from companies that created a “buying experience."</i> </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">As students are more responsive to new learning methods, decision makers in the education market too are more responsive to new buying experiences. </span><span style="color: #073763;">If you want to capture the attention of key contacts in the education market, here’s a simple formula:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Keep it simple</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Keep it powerful</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Make it an experience that administrators are likely to remember, when making that important decision.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Many people categorize the education industry in the non-profit sector. However that’s not the reality. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The K-12 space has had ‘for profit’ organizations or institutions from the beginning. Whether it was the people who built schools, the textbook publishers or the people for supplied the infrastructure. So, it shouldn’t come by surprise when marketers today talk about education investment in areas such as eLearning or new software and hardware technology that will enhance the learning experience.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://k12educationlists.wufoo.com/forms/i-am-interested/"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFv5biK9GcrOd6yK8MFEhLzl7WkuqAjA9r-SD3riTwqgRwLTz_KuHfRRom9QCq8MiHj-lx7RrVslra8b8ErSEh173vnGn1TmTmIbMzgRuetKZ_3qJSXSzi4clPTvo18SOc-ll9Emthxt6J/s320/educationtech.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="color: #073763;">More than the perceiving education institutions as for profit or non-profit, what is more important is to understand the value new technology brings to advance the educational experience. A helpful way to market education marketing products is know how technology is used and perceived in schools.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Use of Technology Just Because It’s There </b>– Many K-12 schools use technology just because its present in the room. It’s used mainly as an add-on and has no particular impact on the learning experience.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Use of Technology to Do Old Things</b> - Many teachers and students now use technology to do old things such as writing, presenting and finding information. For instance, instead of writing, students now use Word Processors; instead of presenting on chalk boards, teachers use LCD projectors; and instead of searching for information in encyclopedias, they browse the Internet.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Use of Technology to Do New Things</b> – Schools are realizing that education technology provide endless possibilities in enabling new ways of learning. For instance, students with new communication technologies can learn from people anywhere in the world, making it a seamless platform for knowledge-exchange. Students can choose what learning and information they wish to get, making it more relevant and meaningful to their journey of learning and development. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Technology is fairly accepted among schools today. It is not stigmatized as a replacement for teachers; instead it’s considered to be a tool that provides a nurturing eco-system to enable new ways of learning, growth and development of students, teachers and the whole schooling system.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Let Educators Know How Technology Will Help Them </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
