Reps sometimes struggle to produce great workshops because...
- They need engaging speakers who understand how students learn best
- They are overwhelmed and don't have time to figure out all the details
- They are new to yearbook and aren't sure what advisers and staffs need
When you book a workshop with Organized Adviser trainers, you’ll be able to focus
on what matters most – serving your advisers and their students.
our MISSION
We provide advisers with the tools they need to build a thriving journalism program.
teaching philosophy is really important to us
If you’re looking for a workshop where the speaker drones through a decades-old stale slideshow, we’re probably not the group for you.
Of course, we’re in a visual field, so we DO use slides to show examples, but we’re also in the business of educating 21st-century learners, and slides alone just doesn’t cut it anymore. We believe it’s important to give intentional opportunities to reinforce concepts, brainstorm ideas, foster creativity, and build bonds between staff members.
We’re looking to produce workshops that align with our mission and create the next generation of journalism education resources.
