Professionalism: Evidence Item #2
Item Name:
The Station's 3 Things
Description of Item:
This is the link to The Station's 3 Things, which is sent out to the entire district every morning.
Reflection:
A few years ago, CNN started a morning feature entitled 5 things. Its focus was to quickly and efficiently feature the top 5 things that you should know to get through your day. I loved the aspect of it so much that whenever I tried to relaunch the school newspaper, I wanted a form of it to be included with it. This led to the creation of 3 Things, which was developed, created, and sent by me every morning and sent to each member of the faculty.
Eventually, I had students write the pieces, and then whenever my Journalism class started during the 2nd semester of 2019-2010, I put the task onto my staff to write the 3 things every morning. Averaging over 200 views per day, the feedback has been tremendous. A lot of faculty members from all three buildings have emailed me personally praising the concept and some have even mentioned that reading the "3 Things" has become part of their daily routine.
3 Things is only the start as I'm excited to see how much The Station can grow over the next few years.
