Some individuals in the district will have already met your Teacher Success Manager. It's a great idea to schedule some time for all your coaches and Book Creator champions to meet them. It can be a 'Train the Trainer' session, during which they share their tips on how best to introduce Book Creator to teachers. It's also a great opportunity to ask questions and brainstorm ideas for how best to roll out Book Creator in your district, in a way that resonates most with your goals and curriculum.
Once they gain an understanding of your district goals, they can also point you to the best pages in this book, based on the where you are in your Book Creator journey.

"I would suggest connecting with content area teams as soon as possible to find ways Book Creator can be integrated into current lessons, projects and assessments. When teachers see how the tool fits into a lesson or a final project, they will want to learn to use it and won’t see it as something extra."

"As an instructional tech department, we're really trying to get the teachers to move from sit and get tech and have the students producing something"
