I’m a high school teacher at an independent study charter school and I’m excited to propose an RPG club for our students. A lot of them have mentioned that they’re just doing homework at home and aren’t engaging in much else, which is a bit unusual. I’ve gathered a lot of information on the educational standards, received approval from Isaac Williams to use Mausritter, and emphasized the benefits of play on social-emotional learning. What key elements do you think should be included in my proposal to impress the administration?

You might want to start by discussing the ‘business case’ for the club. Cover any costs and benefits, such as rulebooks or materials the school needs to buy. It’s also crucial to address risk assessment—who will be responsible during games, and what safety measures will be in place? Consider preparing permission forms and checking if any content needs approval from the school. This way, you can show you’re being thorough and responsible.
Also, think about how many students you expect to join and ensure you have a suitable space and schedule worked out!
