Some things are too good to be kept a secret...like the “Think Higher. Think College.” public awareness campaign! We have created many resources that can be shared throughout your network.
- Probably the most impactful resource is the campaign video, which can be easily shared or downloaded, available in several formats, and in Spanish. This is great to show to a student’s education team, at a state or local education conference, or share with a college or university to change mindsets and expand awareness that college is possible for students with intellectual disability.
- Another tool to use if you present at many meetings or conferences is this PowerPoint slide, which includes a link and QR code for the “Think Higher. Think College.” campaign website.
- We also have a variety of postcards and a small poster with basic campaign information which can be shared or displayed in classrooms and school guidance offices, at transition and college fairs, or anywhere that information is shared about college options.
- Perhaps you want to be more persistent: share the “Think Higher. Think College.” campaign with every email you send. Copy and paste this email signature (found on the Share the Campaign page), which invites people to view the website and learn more.
- Do you like using social media? We have some ready-to-use posts for you in the Social Media and Dissemination Toolkit, along with images, suggested hashtags, and more.
- Finally, we have a comprehensive and accessible campaign Resource Guide which explains the benefits of inclusive postsecondary education, the differences between high school and college, information on how to get started, and more. This resource is perfect for anyone and pairs well with any of the more specific resources for students, families, teachers and transition specialists, vocational rehabilitation professionals, and higher education administrators.
No matter who you are, where you work, or how much you know about inclusive postsecondary education, we have resources to increase your understanding about what's possible when students with intellectual disability have access to college options. And don't forget to share!
