October is Connected Educator Month

The U.S. Department of Education has declared October as this year's Connected Educator Month (CEM) , a month-long exploration of key educational issues through online communities and networks, dedicated to broadening and deepening educator participation, as well as bringing online community and education leaders together to move towards a more fully connected and collaborative profession. Last year's inaugural CEM featured more than 170 organizations (including NWP) mounting more than 450 events and activities for more than 4 million participants worldwide.

NWP will be participating again in CEM and will be hosting events as part of the ongoing Educator Innovator Initiative , of which Connected Educator Month is a partner. (from the National Writing Project website)
