Connecting With Others
Engage the Educators in Your Initiative
It is often a challenge to know just how to approach your school or
school district about your interest in including them in a community
asset-building initiative. Identifying some entrees that have worked
for others may get you started.

Networking
Asset-building
educators have innumerable ideas for incorporating the asset approach
into schooling. Networking provides them a venue for sharing ideas they
have used and gathering new strategies from others. Adding your name to
the mailing list ensures your receiving education-related information
and promotions for resources. Joining the listserv enables you to
correspond directly with many asset-builders in schools. Scanning
"Who's Building Assets in Education" will put you in touch with ideas
and the people behind them.
