- Take a portfolio, work sample, or sample lesson.
- Be prepared to spend time standing in lines for the opportunity for 2-3 minutes of networking time with an administrator.
- Approach each discussion with a school district representative as you would an interview.
- Review the list of participating school districts ahead of time. Plan and prepare for conversations with representatives from these districts.
- Send thank you notes to the school district representatives with whom you meet.
