One great way to gather information about what to teach or to get an idea of what students know is to send out a survey either before the unit or at the start and then again at the end.

If you want to get a student assessment of the program in a certain division, you can send a survey to students who have moved on from the division (i.e. send to gr 9/10s if you are a MS teacher).

Finding experts who are familiar with the international context of what is being taught. Oftentimes we bring in someone who only has experience in their home country and so their materials or information does not align with the needs of our schools. However, the field of experts who have experience in int'l school environments is growing!

Right about now you might be thinking, "Nope, not me. I'm not that easily manipulated." But the numbers prove otherwise. Even if you don't Juul yourself (and we sincerely hope you don't!), odds are you know someone who does. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), e-cigarette use among high schoolers soared from 220,000 students in 2011 to more than 3 million students in 2018. Statistically, that's 1 in 5 high schoolers; 1 in 20 middle schoolers vape, too. "I've walked into the school bathroom between classes, and someone would just hand me a Juul," says Camilo Villegas, 18, from Waconia, Minnesota, who recently quit. "I'm like, 'No, dude, I just actually want to go to the bathroom.' It's almost funny, but also sad."

Even if you're immune to peer pressure, you're likely influenced-even subconsciously-by what you see on social media. And companies know it. One Juul memo released by the congressional committee says, "We are aiming for influencers in popular culture with large audiences in various sectors such as music, movies, social, pop media, etc." Translation: Juul wanted people you admire talking about its product, promoting it, or, say, getting photographed by paparazzi with a Juul sticking out of their pocket.

Last year, when it became obvious that the number of teens Juuling was growing at an alarming rate, Juul shut down its accounts on Instagram and Facebook. Yet, the brand hasn't been canceled online. "I see people Juuling on all platforms every day," says Sophia Waxman, 14, from New York City, who has never Juuled and has no plans to start. "On Instagram, posts show up on my Explore page from accounts I don't even follow."
