Give to EWA

The Education Writers Association works to improve the quality and quantity of education coverage through information, training, and customized support to help reporters and other communicators carry out their vital missions.

Our goal this year is to substantially increase reporter travel to our seminars. Every dollar you donate goes to assist in this cause.

We received a great response from our end-of-the-year push. Let's keep the donations coming.

For just $10 a month, you can enjoy the discounts and other benefits that come with being a member of the EWA Honor Society. We need your support more than ever, so please give all you can today!

Message From EWA's Public Editor

Emily Richmond

What do you get when you take 11 top-notch experts and give them each 12 minutes to talk about "Tomorrow's Teacher: Path to Prestige and Effectiveness"? The answer? One of the most successful EWA National Seminar sessions we have ever had!

If you weren’t able to make it to our 65th National Seminar last week at the University of Pennsylvania, be sure to stop by Ed Beat, where over the next month we’ll be posting guest blogs drawn from many of the sessions, as well as multimedia content including videos, podcasts and photos from around the conference. We'll start sharing our "Tomorrow's Teacher" videos in June.

Right now you can catch up with great blogs about school violence, improving charter school quality and college success for urban high school grads, with much more to follow.

Warm regards,

Emily Richmond
