August 18, 2006

On behalf of the TPA NIE/Literacy Committee, I have an exciting announcement that will make it easier for teachers to use your newspaper in their classrooms. After 18 months of work by members of the committee, TPA now has an NIE curriculum that is correlated to the Tennessee state teaching standards for grades K-12.

This curriculum is available to every TPA member newspaper. Your newspaper can provide this curriculum to teachers in your community. We encourage you to promote the curriculum in your NIE teacher training workshops.

This project was spearheaded by Lu Shep Baldwin, NIE coordinator for Jones Media. The curriculum was purchased from Hot Topics Hot Serials and funding was provided by the Tennessee Press Service, business affiliate of the Tennessee Press Association.

We hope your newspaper with utilize this tool to strengthen your Newspaper In Education program.

Please contact Robyn Gentile, TPA member services manager, with questions regarding access to the curriculum at (865) 584-5761. If you would like to be involved with the NIE/Literacy Committee, please contact me at (423) 337-7101.
