2019 Workshop Talk | 01:00:14 | Fundraising & Development, Marketing & Growth
Summary
Whether you are a parent, teacher, or board member that God is calling to begin a new school or an established school administrator, most school leaders desire to establish schools and employ school systems that will last the test of time. Planting and growing successful schools requires foresight and planning—just the same as planting and growing a thriving garden. Boards and administrators will want to begin with the end in mind, which necessitates deliberant and prudent long-range preparation. This type of “gardening” will produce healthy growth and increase student enrollment. Since school growth is determined by every element from advertising to actuality, what purposeful and decisive steps can school administrators take to promote and even ensure growth? This presentation will review many of these elements and will offer sound, useful, and tried-and-true strategies for growing “God’s Garden”—your school. In addition, several unique and fun
marketing activities will be introduced that could easily fit any size school and budget.
