Hello Katie,
That is a large school! I love adding the club element. It’s hard when the staff size fluctuates and people don’t return. Yes, communication is key! Recruit and talk to you rep! Glad you are here!Hello Katie,
That is a large school! I love adding the club element. It’s hard when the staff size fluctuates and people don’t return. Yes, communication is key! Recruit and talk to you rep! Glad you are here!It is not really a regret as it is “Yearbook Adviser Lessons Learned”.
It is good to empower the students for student run publications, but I have learned from my first K-12 yearbooks.
DO NOT Automatically think the students…
1) know how to make a book (understanding theme, content, coverage, sections…)
2) understand the value of content and details (Naming people in a group photo, dates, epic moment from the year that should get in the book)
3) pace the work, tasks, and to-dos (not wait until the month before it’s due, when the event or item was months ago)
to name a few.Going into year four with a new staff and new way to run the whole project YAY! Basically, start the school year by teaching photo composition and assigning to take the photos of school activities so you are already gathering content to fill the coverage/sections!
It’s all good if it is a lesson learned and improvements happen! #noregrets and yes accidents happen! Do your best and breathe.
