Hi all...I am a teacher at a private school in northern DE who has an undergrad degree from UofD in Journalism. After 4 years of teaching, I am working on meshing my two career passions.
I am pursuing the launching of a new magazine for area teachers/parents/students. As a result, I am looking for a few teachers who would be willing to contribute to this start-up (creatively, not financially!!!).
If you have been around DE education, you know a lot is going on. I believe we need a publication that will inform parents of what is happening in area schools/districts -- from the DSTP to who the teachers are. Too much negativity is reported in the news...we need to open a new outlet.
The publication would also be beneficial to teachers as a form of speaking out and getting recognized for their work, as well as lessons/projects that both parents and teachers could do with their children.
Think: NEA Today + Parenting + DE Today.....
I've contacted a printer and am awaiting specs. I have a letter in place to MBNA to help with financial issues, since they seem to really enjoy getting their name on educational programs.
With a little help, we can contribute even more to our children.
I am a private tutor for Spanish, my students are mostly professionals from this area, and one of my students is a teacher. I will let them know about your undertaking in case they'd like to contribute.
GOOD LUCK with the launching of your magazine; I'd love to help if you see fit.
Dear Colleague: My best wishes to you in starting a new magazine. In 1983 I founded NATIONAL FORUM JOURNALS. Since then, over 3,000 professors have published in various journals. We also publish hard copy issues. It takes a great deal of time and energy to lunch a magazine. I know, we publish nine journals each year. Good luck.
