"Why A Theme Team"?You can download your school theme at nearly the speed of light. Seconds after you hit the button, it's in your inbox... and ready to be distributed. Your theme team represents that group of people who will set the stage... those who have the energy and show love of their school. They realize the benefits school themes can provide... And they can't wait to see your school spirit soaring. It's likely you'll discover the team will be the same folks who inspire graduating students to plan ahead More > >... Your team agrees... and looks for creative ways to add those ideas that are unique about your school. We all know your school is a little different... you have special school colors... you have special logos... and nicknames or motto's. You have a special recognized culture that sets you apart from other schools. Help the team use your school's unique qualities. Add the team's creative juices to a few school theme exercises and WOW, stand back and watch what happens to your school spirit. All the special features about your school should be combined with our creative school themes process. It is of course, these special features about your school, that will attract the staff and students. And it's that sense of community, of belonging that helps drive school spirit.
Many principals or administrators focus on relationsips between themselves and other teachers when looking for their theme team leader. Actually it might be the links among teammates (teachers)that matter most. Find your undisclosed leaders. Bolster their teaming bonds. Sometimes the best leaders are not the best teachers so try to find leaders who have the respect of the team. It's a And... you'll want to recognize, protect and encourage this chemistry ! OK - One thing is for sure... you don't want the theme to set on the shelf like so many courses, books, games, business ideas... etc, that have been ordered but never seem to make it past the first glance. Not everyone is so inspired but... someone must take the "bull by the horns"... and lead your staff. It’s no surprise that total staff support contributes to a student’s learning experience in many ways and you'll likely need a leader for your theme team. And let's remember your staff composition and potential theme team members include... teachers, administrators, bus drivers, nurses, cooks, janitors, librarians... everyone who interacts with the staff, students and community on a regular basis. All of these folks make significant contributions to student successes and I share their testimonials as proof of their continuing interest in the education community. Staff members and the theme team can apply a little creativity to school theme material... add a twist here and there to suit unique local desires... and the excitement fuse is ignited. It really is all about "effective presentation" by your theme team.
