Is it just for new advisers?
Many reps tell us that they have had great success giving a copy of The First 20 Days to experienced, but disorganized, advisers. It has helped them get their act together, even after many years of missed deadlines and in-debt yearbooks. It might work for your advisers, too!
What if they don't have a class?
Then they need The First 20 Days LITE! Specially formulated for the the yearbook adviser who has everything--except a class. Call us and we will send a sample page of The First 20 Days LITE. Or click the samples link at left and download one.
How does it work for the adviser?
The First 20 Days takes a day-by-day approach, listing tasks that need to be done by the end of that day, week and month. It is divided into the four main areas of yearbook: teaching yearbook, staff production, budget balancing and photography. Each day, week and month, the adviser has three tasks to do in each of these four categories. It has a Minute-by-Minute feature that walks the teacher through the entire class period.
It also includes numerous handouts and lessons that can be duplicated for classroom use on all related yearbook topics including layout, copy, captionwriting, photography, digital and more.
It now includes presentations on copy writing, layout and design, photography for the entire staff and caption writing. All these are downloadable from your own personalized web page. To see what a sample webpage looks like, click here.
