Scheduling
& Planning
To schedule and plan a
Speakers in Schools event, a school
will need a teacher or administrator to
serve as a School
Coordinator who will make arrangements
for the event and act as the primary
point of contact. School Coordinators
should plan for the Speaker's program to run 45-60 minutes.
Since Speakers are generally only
available to give one program per visit,
we
encourage School Coordinators to invite
more than one class to the program. The process of
scheduling
and planning a Speakers in Schools
event requires 5-6 weeks.
