Just keep the fee low enough for the parents of the kids to afford.

I don't have a really help ful answer for you, but I'm working as a fundraiser for different charities. So, your problem touched me instantly. I would suggest you to approach any major sponsors you may know -could be company or organisation /like, amnesty international or something like that.\nIf there are other schools with similar problems, why don't you coordinate altogether any fundraising events? Students can create things that can be sold..!\nAnother idea is to find a block on the net and through that you can make the general public aware-create a 'donate' link so someone can offer money....!\nWhen there's strong will and love for something, then changes can be achieved. I apologise for not being really help ful, but I all my positive energy and thought may be with you.\nFundraising is not easy but is all about good energy...good luck.

You should apply to many school districts.\n\nYou have the credentials, so that is helpful. \n\nIt never hurts to try. Just apply to as many as you can and hope someone contacts you.

If I had the money...I would fix up inner city schools and make sure they have modern computers and have people who know how to fix them. With large numbers of people leaving the country and moving to the city, this could be very helpful. I would also work on feeding and clothing the poor in America.

For marketing an ESL school I have a couple of suggestions but they are based on my knowledge of the country I live in (Japan) so they may not apply to you.  Please use these ideas at your own discretion.\n\n1. Set the school apart from others by offering something other schools don't have.  i.e. custom designed software for the students that no other school has.  (I happen to make that)\nhttp://prodigycreator.com/e_index.html\n\n2. Hold events at your school that are really fun! Events like an open house where anyone can walk in and talk all day and get to know the teachers.\n\n3. Provide a home stay service for your students at affordable prices.\n\n4. Provide English story corrections via email.  i.e. they send in a short made up story via email and get a native teacher to correct it as a kind of free service for the students.\n\nOK, I think that may be a few ideas that you can work with.  If you're interested in talking about more ideas I think I might be able to come up with some.  Just contact me.\n\nRegards,\nDarrin\ndwong@prodigycreator.com

I wish there was a book.  I've found the best way is to simply talk to other teachers.  Borrow their ideas and shape them into what will work for you and your class.  It seems like at most staff developments the best you can hope to come away with is a few good ideas.

How about having students mentor and/or tutor younger children from the local elementary schools?  Or from your local homeless shelter?

My best advice for you is to get the backing of a local field and find a teacher who would be willing to be a coach or at least an adviser.  If you're not already a frequent visitor of www.pbnation.com go there.  There are lots of threads on there from people who have started up teams at their schools and there's lots of info on how they did it.

Start with PTA meetings or through your school itself.  Ask families you know to help through word of mouth.  That's a quick way of starting.

If it's a big high school you could fundraise and start a high school radio channel, and get sponsorship from local businesses in return for mentioning them during adverts and between shows.\nYou could start making something useful and sell it off for less than the usual price. In my school we made pot pourri sachets and ornaments. They sold very well. \nYou could get local businesses to sponsor a group from your school to do a play or a mini marathon or something. That way you would be promoting the local businesses and would be making money for charity, and would be keeping health and wellbeing in the project.

I would imagine, just a guess, that a very small percentage of the population (less than 10%) gets to take part in this program.  Contact you local school system and get the name and number of the local headstart teacher/program.  I teach grades 1-2 in the public system.  good luck with your project.

I'm not an expert but I'd guess that you and the other staff would need all the necessary care qualifications and health and safety qualifications. The person running it would probably need some training in management. Your local council would probably give you a grant and some advice. Social Services would give additional funding.\nMy mother ran a private school for disabled children.
