The School Nurse Media Lab is the first of it’s kind, specifically designed for school nurses to take a deep dive into nursing media competencies in the midst of a pandemic. We will learn about crafting messaging for targeted audiences, including school administrators, teachers, parents, and the media.
Learn an actionable technique to deliver powerful messages that will amplify the voice of school nursing as we navigate these tricky waters of school reopening.
School Nurse Media Lab:
How to Respond When Asked about Reopening Schools Safely
Media Instruction for School Nurses
School Nurse Media Lab
This 90-minute interactive online Media Lab is suitable for school nurses at all levels of media experience. It will focus on how to frame the national public health issue, How to Reopen Schools Safely. You will learn how to develop key messages on the issue based on a specific target audience, including the public. The Media Lab provides a very brief didactic presentation by the faculty, but the primary teaching approach is hands-on exercises. School Nurses will be expected to come to the Media Lab with one issue related to reopening schools safely and having completed a pre-workshop assessment. Raise your voice on the reopening schools safely in your state, region, and district. Be a #SchoolNurseInfluencer.
