Remember: There are many sources of hidden power and the shortest path to a goal is not always a straight line. As you move into adoption stages, it will be very important who you have talked with, met with, and who has moved to adoption stage before you schedule meetings, school visits and school board votes.

Your goal is achieve school board adoption. The teacher will provide cards which will indicate who has gained awareness, acceptance or adoption.
