Intro
Hello there, my name is Adam Sparks. My wife Alexa and I are the creators of Short Answer! First, we want to say thank you for being a Short Answer Teacher. We’re honored to have you using Short Answer in your classroom and are excited that you’re interested in becoming a Short Answer Ambassador. As a small team, your support is vital in helping us spread the word about Short Answer.
Requirements
To ensure that Short Answer ambassadors have a solid understanding of the Short Answer approach, Short Answer ambassadors will:
- ✔️ Watch brief tutorial videos on Short Answer basics and pass corresponding quizzes on each video. (the 4 videos at the top of this page)
- ✔️ Conduct three readings on the Short Answer approach and pass corresponding quizzes on each reading. (Reading 1, Reading 2, and Reading 3)
- ✔️ Upload a screenshot of an exemplar question (and corresponding feedback criteria) from your Short Answer account.
- ✔️ Describe an experience you had using Short Answer or sharing Short Answer with staff that inspired you to become an ambassador
- ✔️ Conduct a quick 10-minute Zoom / phone call (at a time convenient to you) with the Short Answer founders to finalize ambassador details
We anticipate the above to take about 30-60 minutes to complete (not including the phone call) depending on your familiarity with Short Answer.
Commitment
As a Short Answer ambassador, you will also commit to:
- ✔️ Share your new “ambassadorship” on social media (or with your colleagues if you don’t have social media)
- ✔️ Present on Short Answer at least once during a given school year (with fellow staff or at a conference )
- ✔️ Be a go-to source for fellow teachers when they have questions
- ✔️ Offer feedback, both positive and negative, about Short Answer to help our team improve the platform
Benefits
For your efforts in completing the above requirements and commitments, you will be rewarded with:
- ⭐ 6 months of Short Answer Premium + on-demand as needed
- ⭐ A personalized ambassador badge to display your expertise to the world
- ⭐ Swag bag of Short Answer goodies mailed to your door if/when you present on Short Answer at your school or a conference
- ⭐ The deep-felt appreciation of Adam & Alexa (we’re a small team and we couldn’t do this without you)
