The challenge in all classrooms is

time. Look at the lessons through a

lens of inclusion, how does this

enhance what I am already doing?

Integrate Standards

Connecting the lessons to the

curriculum, and to the world in which

they live. Classroom Champions is

the key to empowering kids to reach

higher..

Find Connections

Produce media, not just consume

media. Use media to build the bridge

between the athlete and the

students.

Use Technology

Middle School students need many

mentors in their lives. Defining the

term helps kids identify mentors that

are all around them.
