Update on future Blog Contests: Instead of our essay contest, we are now offering a special give-away to any IU13 staff member in ECSES. There is no need for a staff member to write an essay. You all have so much on your plates, it was decided at an SEC meeting that SECs or designated program staff will nominate teachers, paras, or itinerants for an honorable mention each month. Those entries will be added to the Random Name Generator website to WIN the give-away. Just another way to say “THANK YOU!” for all you do for our students at IU13.
