TeachAde and NEA Member Benefits |
|
|
TeachAde is proud to announce our partnership with NEA Member Benefits to provide educators access to the leading online collaborative community designed by educators for educators. TeachAde is being integrated into the newly revamped NEA MB Web site to help members connect with each other, share best practices and access invaluable resources with a click of the mouse.
We have four NEA MB Groups on TeachAde which are open to all TeachAde members:
· 21st Century Skills: Do you think schools should focus on teaching K-12 students 21st century skills or stick to a core curriculum?
In addition, our partnership allows us access to highly trained professionals like Elizabeth, a Certified Financial Planner™, who is writing a regular Blog on TeachAde called Money Talk. You can follow Elizabeth's Blog for thoughtful and practical information to help you meet your financial goals.
We have created a Welcome NEA tab on the site to consolidate the NEA MB Groups and other important information. Check it out today! |
