The 6th annual National Charter Schools Week (NCSW) will be held May 1-7. This week of celebration is designed to increase the public’s understanding and support for charter schools. NCSW is once again being organized by the Charter School Leadership Council. The official NCSW website offers many resources to help organizations and schools prepare for the week. The Leaders Guide, a brochure with creative ideas on how charter leaders can plan for and publicize the week, and a Toolkit for State Associations and Individual Charter Public Schools are available for download. Promotional materials, such as media advisory templates, are offered to charter advocates to help them reach out to the news media, policymakers, business leaders, and the larger community.
