When Kara and Pam advised yearbook staffs, each staff member or a pair of staffers worked on a single spread. The editors were typically section editors who oversaw the production of a single section on a single deadline. Today, many yearbook staffs work in teams. A group of students work on multiple spreads for each deadline, and a team leader oversees the group.

To facilitate the team approach, adviser Tim Yorke at Heritage High School uses the Journey Junction PDF. Journey is the name of the yearbook staff, and “Journey Junction” is the staff’s name for team meeting time. Each team has a binder with many copies of the Journey Junction PDF. The team leaders take notes on daily progress, deadline goals, even attendance. Check it out!
