Step 1: Seek leadership or administration support & approval.
We have found the most beneficial NASP® programs start with the full support of the school administration.
Your interest in bringing NASP® to a new school can aid in improving educational performance amongst students by introducing life lessons required to be successful in the classroom and in life. We believe NASP® is especially attractive to previously underserved student populations. The school principal’s familiarity with staff may be key to identifying the “ideal” educator to run the required in-school program.
Each school and district has their own requirements for introducing new curriculum.
You may need to gain approval from:
- School Principal
- School Board
- Superintendent
- Curriculum Coordinator
