Project details

What we need
  • Document outlining feedback on pitch delivery with suggested next steps and/or resources
  • A script for a 1-minute verbal pitch that communicates your Organization's mission, work, and why people should care
Additional details

As a Bilingual educator in SEL (Social Emotional Learner) I would like to come up with a pitch that doesn't feel like a run on sentence, when asked what I do in the schools by teachers,parents, community, and so on.

What we have in place
  • Your child is being considered for enrollment in the Chautauqua Striders Life Skills Education Program. Using an evidence-based curriculum developed by the Arise Foundation, Life Skills Educators facilitate small group sessions focused on reinforcing core competencies such as responsible decision making, goal setting, anger management, conflict resolution, and listening skills. Life Skills Education has been shown to improve self-esteem and confidence, as well as academic achievement.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to explain what we do in the school to parents,teachers,community, and students when being introduce to our program in a better aspect and where its short simple and to the point.

I'm hoping this project makes me feel more comfortable with telling people what I do in the schools and outside of school hours. Right now I feel like when I tell them I just use run on sentences and I'm all over the place when explaining.
