Five NSPA Pacemaker Master Classes have been scheduled for the days ahead to boost your staff training plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virtual workshops can jump-start your student media for the year \u2014 at an affordable cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve targeted key topics to engage and motivate your staff members early in the school year. Our award-winning instructors have years of experience working with staff members at all levels, from veterans to newcomers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re also offering a workshop specifically on college essays,<\/strong> a critical topic for all students advancing to higher education. If you’re aware of students beyond journalism who could benefit, please let them know about this workshop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to each workshop, and to make the instruction even more productive, we’ll reach out so you can share examples of your stories, designs and social media. Then, in the final 30 minutes of each session, we’ll offer critiques and make plans to follow up and review your progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration is per school per workshop. When you register, you can take advantage of the live interaction, and you can use the session recording for 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get ready for the year ahead.

Through your college essay, you sell them on you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
