DKG Engages the Younger Generations

In a response to a tweet from XYZ University, I proclaimed that DKG engages the younger generations. As a follow up, they  suggested I email the CMO and talk more about it. Without a lot of thought, I made a list of a few of the ways our Society reaches out to the younger generations and especially to early career educators. Many of the opportunities are available to non-members as well as members. They include:

  • financial support for graduate study
  • support for educators working on National Board Certification
  • coaching, mentoring and other support for educators new to the profession
  • professional networking in a multi-generational environment
  • leadership development opportunities
  • funding for classroom, school or community projects
  • support for attendance at professional conferences
  • publishing opportunities in a juried journal
  • professional development hours for renewal of teaching certificates
  • professional speaking opportunities
  • supporting diversity and involvement in programs at chapter, state organization and international level
If your chapter is engaging the younger generations, share with me and I will share it with the world.
