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.
