PIPELINE INTO SCHOOL HISTORY PROGRAMS



For a pipeline into the schools, try two approaches:

1.  School districts have History or Social Studies supervisors.
Contact the school district.  Sometimes they even keep lists of
people interested in speaking.  During National Education Week,
there is usually a nationwide Great American Teach-in, one
day when schools invite the world in to the classroom to give
the kids access to speakers of every variety.  The district office
can lead you to schools that would be interested in your speakers.

2. Contact school librarians and media specialists.  Often they
are responsible for providing programing in the schools to coordinate with their
own curriculum.  Librarians usually see the entire student
body and keep up with what is being taught in the various classrooms
at different levels. There are several listservs for school media
folks, or contact the district library/media supervisors.
