Step 1: Develop an Idea
Consider:
Is my idea unique (e.g. are there other clubs that already exist about this topic?)
What is the objective (goal) of my club?
Do I know at least 2+ other students who would be interested in joining this group?
How will I communicate with my club members?
Will my club require tryouts or any pre-requisites for membership?
How will I consistently advertise my club? (some common methods include: Instagram, daily announcements, posters initialed by an administrator, signing up for a table at the club fair)
Step 2: Find a Teacher Sponsor
Consider:
Do I know this teacher relatively well?
What time and where will my club meet?
Have I discussed ideas with my sponsor for club meetings?
Step 3: Contact Mr. Ziebro (ECA Director) at mark_j_ziebro@mcpsmd.org and wait for an email of approval.
Once these steps are complete, congratulations! You are officially a B-CC club leader. Consider these best practices to ensure optimal success and engagement.
