KCEE survey participants
We had several responses to our survey on name suggestions for our newsletter, delivery timing and topics to include. Thanks to everyone who submitted their suggestions. Everyone is a winner when you teach economics. However, the one chosen to get some cool KCEE stuff is ...Gina Lyon, Topeka West High School. Woohoo!
KCEE Newsletter Name
Several suggestions were given for the KCEE newsletter name. The original name was EconEdcetera. The following names were suggested: Dollars & Sense; Econ Extra; Econ Extravaganza; Economics 4 U; EconoCents and EconEdcetera. Please reply with your first and second choice.
Newsletter Topics
Teacher Spotlight
We had several good suggestions for topics to include in the newsletter. One in particular was Teacher Spotlight. I am inviting you to participate in the Teacher Spotlight section. If you would like to share your story as it relates to KCEE please click on this link to take a short survey.
Student Testimonials
I was also asked to have student testimonials included in the newsletter. Since we do not have student information, would you please refer a current or past student who you felt was engaged through the KCEE curriculum. If you would email me their contact information, it would be appreciated.
Teaching Tips
The last section I was encouraged to include was Teaching Tips. Tried & True and Latest & Greatest were the topics. Do you have any of these you would like to share? Respond to this email with your ideas or resources.
Each of these topics will be featured in an upcoming newsletter. I cannot guarantee that all of them will make it. Those who submit will get credit for submitting.
Thank you for taking time to invest in others.
Dr. Matt Johnson
VP Development & Communications
