Are you interested in discovering new ways to supplement the material you use to teach your subject area with the newspaper?  Would you like to share your thoughts and experiences using NIE with the program’s staff members and other teachers?

If you answered yes to either question, in two simple steps, NIE can send our NIE Coordinator to your classroom, armed with newspapers and an engaging activity to do with your students.  We will make it fun for your students and easy for you to bring real world learning to your classroom.  The NIE Coordinators are also available to to run workshops and in-services for teachers who are looking for new ideas on how to use the newspaper in their classes.

Once we have received your request, we will contact you to set up a date, time, place and activity with you.  Your request will be honored on a first come, first serve basis.  These services are free for current NIE subscribers.  If you are interested, please contact us at nie@pjstar.com or call 309-686-3027.
