ProTeam Club
We strongly encourage you to offer a ProTeam Club at your school. At least half of the membership of the
club should consist of students who have been through the ProTeam class. Use material and activities from the
curriculum that you weren't able to use in the class (the optional activities) at the club meetings. The club activities
should serve as a way to keep the ProTeam students and other club members focused on what has to happen in
order for them to become successful, professional adults and to keep them interested in exploring teaching as a
profession.
ProTeam Showcase
As a culminating activity for the ProTeam course, teachers may want to use the ProTeam Showcase as a final
assessment piece.
The showcase would allow students to share with the school, family and community what they have learned from
their experiences in ProTeam.
Objectives:
v To provide students with the opportunity to display their work and experiences
v To gain valuable, positive public relations for the ProTeam program, the school, and the students
Procedure:
Depending on the structure you choose to follow, the Showcase could last from an hour to a full day.
The Booths:
v Organize the ProTeam Showcase to resemble a Career Fair; however, the focus is on the importance of
education and the skills, knowledge, and experiences that have been a part of the ProTeam experience.
v Decide what booths or displays to set up for the showcase. There are many possibilities. Each booth may be
focused on a particular module of the ProTeam curriculum, OR you may wish to showcase individual
activities from the ProTeam curriculum. For example, one booth could highlight the service learning activities
the ProTeam students participated in during the course.
v ProTeam students will serve as hosts for the booths. They will also be responsible for coming up with
displays/decorations for the booths. In addition to booths that focus on ProTeam activities, another could
provide refreshments for the visitors.
Who's Invited?
The visitors to the ProTeam Showcase need to be determined based on several factors. Two groups to target would
include potential ProTeam students for the following year and the faculty/staff in the school. Also, this showcase
would be a good opportunity for parents of ProTeamers to come in and see what their child has experienced in the
class. If possible, this would be an appropriate time for the Parent Workshop if you haven't already had one.
What Is Going On?
Visitors would have the opportunity to casually visit each booth. The ProTeam students at each booth could
explain their displays and answer questions about the ProTeam class.
