Suggested copy for your newsletter, website, or personal email! Please join me in the WAITING FOR SUPERMAN Social Action campaign! Together we can ensure that every child gets a great education and is prepared for life beyond high school. There is no single solution to fixing our education system, but there are simple steps you can take today as a parent, teacher, or simply an interested citizen to make a difference in our community. Heres how: * Support Great Teachers: To ensure a great teacher in every classroom, contact your school board and ask them to support and reward great teachers. http://www.waitingforsuperman.com/action/page/write-your-schoolboard * Demand World-Class Standards: To better prepare our students for success in college and the workforce, your governor must implement the Common Core Standards in your state. These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education career to give them a world-class education. Send your governor a letter today http://www.waitingforsuperman.com/action/take-action * Get Local: You can't change education nationally without acting locally. Continue the conversation with this group. Get involved in your city: mentor a child, volunteer at your neighborhood school, attend a school board meeting, and learn what other ways you can make a difference. Call your local campaign manager. http://www.waitingforsuperman.com/action/get-local * Volunteer & Mentor: Helping a school helps your community. Find volunteer and mentoring opportunities near you at www.mentoring.org * Donate: Did you know that on average a teacher spends over $500 a year on school supplies? And that comes straight from their pocket. Help a teacher out by funding their classroom project at http://www.donorschoose.org * Get Informed: Find local schools on http://www.GreatSchools.org, and see how our schools are doing compared with others. * Join the Debate: No one can argue that the U.S. public education system needs change, but the methods to do so are constantly being debated. Share your opinion at http://www.waitingforsuperman.com/action, and learn from others. Take Action with me and be a super hero today!
