SRA Ambassador Schools
ambassador schools
SRA McGraw-Hill Education’s iconic resources have been fully researched and are proven to succeed. Now the new Ambassador Schools initiative will allow you to speak to a teacher who has experienced success with one of these programs in their own school - so you can discuss how it will work for you before purchasing.

We are currently looking for Ambassador Schools across the country and would love to hear from you. Please see below for further information and how to sign up.

What is an Ambassador School?
 An Ambassador School can be either a school that has seen improved results with an SRA McGraw-Hill Education program or a school that is looking for an added incentive before adopting a program. In return for agreeing to offer advice to potential users and providing feedback to their local Educational Consultant, Ambassador Schools will receive:
  • $50 worth of resources for every school that contacts them about the resource which results in an appointment or a contact for SRA McGraw-Hill Education
  • An exclusive discount on all orders for any SRA McGraw-Hill Education resources for the duration of the Ambassador School contract (1 year)

What is the commitment?
An Ambassador School agrees to:
  • Regular visits from their local SRA McGraw-Hill Education Consultant (minimum of twice in the school year)
  • Have the contact details of their school made available online, so that potential customers may contact them for advice
  • Provide us with feedback on how the resources are being used
  • Allow other schools to visit or telephone with a view to see the resource in action before purchasing
How can my school apply?

If your school is interested in joining the Ambassador School program, please contact schools_marketing@mcgraw-hill.com to discuss your resource requirements and to obtain an application form.

Spelling Success for an Ambassador School

One of our founding Ambassador Schools, Emmanuel Christian School in Tasmania, has let us know how Spelling Mastery has improved the spelling skills of its students. Gayle Goninon, the Learning Support Coordinator at Emmanuel, writes:

“This year at Emmanuel, a group of dedicated secondary teachers has taught SRA Spelling Mastery lessons to secondary students who are having difficulty with spelling. The students are vertically grouped from Grade 7 – 10 and placed at the appropriate level of the teacher-directed, carefully sequenced instructional program.

After only the first 5 months of tuition, the results have been impressive. Of the 38 students participating, 13% have improved their spelling ages by over 4 years, 15 % by over 2 years, and 23% by over 1 year.
Secondary teacher, Matt Rushton, who teaches SRA Spelling Mastery, says the program is easy to follow and one Grade 8 student was heard to remark that at last she understands the spelling rules!

The program is also used throughout the Primary School with similarly impressive results. Each day students from grades one to six are vertically grouped for their lessons, catering not only for those who are struggling with spelling, but also allowing for the acceleration of gifted students across the school including several Prep students who are already working at grade one level.”
