Patience. Getting a Best Answer after only posting 23 answers is not likely unless you are answering in sections that you are extremely good in. (Stars have no point value, BTW.)

Just pick your best area, post good, complete answers, concisely, with sources if they are needed. Eventually, you will start getting those Best Answers. Even without them, you will start to 'level up' within 2-3 days.

(EDIT: Also, many people don't immediately choose a Best Answer, even if they should. Therefore, you may not see a Best Answer appear until the question defaults to the voting process after 4 days. The voters may then end up giving you the BAs you are looking for.)

There are a number of things that you can do. Start a mentoring and/or job shadowing program. Enlist the help of local organizations like the Chamber of Commerce. Have a job fair with the community invited to explain what they do and what education was needed for their career. Have demonstration nights, like science fairs, but in any subject, where students present and defend practical or research projects. Invite local experts to question students and help to assess their work. Also invite the general public to attend and observe. Invite guest lecturers from the community into any and all classes. If you have special interest clubs try to connect them with organizations in the community for service projects that connect their learning with practical application.

Hopefully, that will get you started brainstorming many more ideas that fit your students and your community. This is an important endeavor. Good luck!

I have information for you that I cannot post on here. Please email me and I will give you some ideas and some info in private.

Some ideas I can share with you here: Do not ever go to a stranger's home. Ever. Meet only in neutral areas, like hotels and such. Always have a safe call in place, and BE in contact with your safe call as much as possible before and after any meetings. Listen to your instincts — if you get a bad vibe from someone then don't meet them.

Cheers!
