    SPECIAL MESSAGE TO EDUCATORS & SPONSORS

    Much of the material in our monthly - September thru May of each school year -National public-policy resource theme-packets is foundational in nature.

    This material will be used by classroom teachers year after year as a standard featureof their citizenship-education curriculum.

    Because this material is not time sensitive, teachers can plug it into the curriculumstream at any time during the school year - at the teachers' discretion.

    Some of the material has a strong "current events" component; hence, it's more timesensitive and will be used at once upon receipt from our office. However, becausewe deal only with "big" national public-policy issues, even these packets are useful toclassroom teachers on an ongoing basis. This is because they form the core ofteacher-preparation resource files, which the teachers will update with additional,current, related information as it becomes available.

    This will insure that the theme-packets have the maximum educational impactpossible.

    The "bottom line" is this - participation in this exciting program can begin at anytime during the school year, and all nine (9) theme-packets for the current

    school year will be sent to the schools no matter when during the school year the

    school's participation is activated.

    Our January theme-packet will begin our intensive, comprehensive, and balancedcoverage of the entire process leading up to the November 2012 elections.This coverage will continue right through the November 2012 elections -

    Presidential, Congressional, and State-level contests.

    Please keep in mind that many of the students

    exposed to this material will be eligible to vote

    in 2012.

    Now is the ideal time to implement this programin your local area school(s).

    Please let us hear from you soon.
