Sample TextWhen discussing the introduction of new curriculum into a school setting, it is important to gain support from faculty and attract students to the classes for which the curriculum is being designed. Regarding faculty, it is important to understand their backgrounds and what might incite them to teach a specific curriculum. This is covered largely in the Faculty Support section. When it comes to actually contacting the faculty and securing their participation, some of the following tactics might be employed. *Getting in touch with faculty: **Find a “friend” on staff/faculty/administration **Send out mass emails to faculty **Display ads for your curriculum on televisions and display boards around campus*Convince faculty the curriculum is worth their time: **With needs and data as to why new curriculum is necessary **Use ideas from other schools as a bargaining tool for comparison***If ____ has it, why don’t we have ____ ***MIT has the most Nobel Prize winning alumni, if they have ___ curriculum, why don’t we? Students are oftentimes more difficult to entice, as they already have packed schedules and minimal time to spare. The best ways to attract students is often by creating weird and unusual events. Students will attend something that inspires them or gets them thinking critically. Oftentimes, this can be done through the simple forms of advertisement listed: *Advertising to students **1-2minute pitch at the beginning of classes by each team members **Mass emails and personal emails **Posters **Event calendars **Scrolling television ads **Facebook, Twitter, and other social media**First Year Experience or Innovation Classes **Extra Credit Opportunities
