We recommend conducting station audits daily so that you have the most accurate and up-to-date information about your program. Our suggestion is to get your custodial staff on board with the station audits so that they can conduct them as part of their daily routine.
While at first this may seem daunting, once it becomes part of the regular routine it shouldn't take up much of their time, and you will have access to glorious data that will keep your program on track!
Follow these steps when collecting Station Audit Data to be sure you have updated and accurate information.
We also recommend conducting a Composition Audit once every six months. This will make sure that your stream compositions are kept up to date and will allow the Resource Center to provide you with the most accurate information available.
Follow these instructions when collecting Composition Audit Data, and make sure you're wearing all the necessary Personal Protective Equipment during these audits.
Update staff and students on how the program is going using some of our marketing materials:
Make adjustments to your program as it requires them. If it turns out that your signage isn't clear, consider replacing or modifying what you have. If there are areas where the bins are overflowing, put larger bins there or add another station nearby! Unfortunately you can't predict exactly what will happen until people start using the program, so adjustments are often inevitable.
Share your positive results, and even share the challenges you've gone through or that you're still trying to overcome! Share them not only with your staff and students, but with the world! Social media affords us with the opportunity to get our messages out in to the world whenever we want to. Become the inspiration for another school trying to do exactly what you've done!
