SPB Sponsor Roles & Responsibilities
The primary role of the SPB Sponsor is to mentor and guide students through each phase of the SPB process. If you are implementing the SPB process in your classroom, at one school, or in an organization, you might find helpful information in both the SPB Coordinator and SPB Sponsor resource hubs.
Additional SBP Sponsor responsibilities include:
- Participate in training and professional development to learn about all phases of the process.
- Assemble a steering committee of students and host weekly/bi-weekly meetings throughout the SPB process.
- Facilitate connections between students, teachers, administrators, and district staff.
- Plan & host a campus-wide SPB Vote Day with assistance from the SPB Coordinator and Advisors.
- Participate in and help coordinate process and impact evaluation.
- Maintain communication with the SPB Coordinator throughout the SPB process.
- Have Fun!
