How it Works

This ready-to-use toolkit includes editable templates, bulletin board printables, and step-by-step directions to help you spotlight staff who often work behind the scenes. Simply choose your heroes, gather a short write-up and photo, and share their story across your school—in print, online, or both!

Educator Collaboration

This resource was built in collaboration with dedicated educators and school leaders who shared their experience, ideas, and insights at every step. We’re grateful for their partnership in creating tools that truly make a difference in schools. ‍
