Idea File Fall 2024

W hether you have dreamed of being a yearbook adviser since you were the editor of your high school yearbook or you were volun-told to do it, you are in for a wild ride. No other teaching job requires you to plan, create, market and deliver a product with a group of unpredictable, emotional teens. Sounds like the makings of a horror story, right? Don’t worry, it is far from it. The challenges are far outweighed by the pride you and your staff will feel when you run your hands over the shiny new cover of your first yearbook. It can be a long journey to your delivery date, but a few simple strategies can help make the ride manageable.
