SOCIAL MEDIA TIP
Make a plan to capture and share quotes
Your students, faculty, and community members all have important things to say. Maybe there is a guest speaker at your campus, a quote from a student about something new they learned, or an impression from a family member after a school event. Plan ahead to capture these quotes and share them on social media. This is a great way to amplify voices and celebrate the great work happening at your school.
Utilize this strategy at TCCA!!
