You have chosen “sponsored” NIE Herald-Leaders.
This means you’ll be an NIE teacher and the entire cost
of your NIE Herald-Leader order will be paid for by a business
assigned by the Newspaper in Education program.
As an NIE teacher with sponsored Herald-Leaders:
- Ten or more newspapers must be ordered for any one day. Sponsored Herald-Leader newspapers are for student use in the classroom, so we encourage you to request a classroom set, use them and then send them home. Encourage homework and family literacy time using the newspaper.
- Notify us right away if your
order of Herald-Leaders are not delivered to your
school or center. CLICK HERE to notify us via email.
Please note: All NIE Herald-Leaders ordered by ALL teachers
at your school and/or center are delivered in TWO
big stacks to the
front of your school early in the morning. One stack contains the front, or "A" section, of the newspaper, while the second stack contains the remaining sections and inserts. NIE only sends
enough Herald-Leaders to complete the orders. There
are no extras. And no names on the bundle. You are asked to count
out the number of Herald-Leaders you requested on that day.
We encourage you to do this early on the day of delivery
so others don’t
take “extras.” (some schools/centers assign students to
help with this task)
- You will be required at the end of each semester to sign
and return an affidavit (not applicable to Adult Ed centers or GEAR-UP). NIE will mail an affidavit to
you at the end of each semester. This is for our mandatory
auditing purposes. It shows our auditors that NIE delivered
business-paid Herald-Leaders to your school and they were
received by you and used with students. That’s why it’s
important you notify us right away if you aren’t receiving
the newspapers you ordered.
- Your students must participate in Design
An Ad (not applicable to Adult Ed centers or GEAR-UP). The packet
of materials will be mailed to you in January. This is for
all the students that use the Herald-Leaders to complete.
The ads students design are for the business that NIE assigns
as your sponsor. The Design an Ad tab will publish in the
Herald-Leader in May. All ads submitted to the Herald-Leader
will be sent to your sponsor. Ads are judged and prizes are
awarded.
- It’s important and a good teaching activity to have
you and your students send a thank
you note to your assigned
business sponsor each semester. Include student notes or artwork
too. Feel free to invite the sponsor to visit your students
when they are using the Herald-Leader.
- Read the newspaper first. If on a certain day you feel
there is anything inappropriate for classroom use in the
Herald-Leader just pull out that section and use the rest
of the newspaper.
- Keep in touch with NIE. We love to hear your stories about using newspapers.
YES. I accept these responsibilities to be an NIE teacher.
NO. I decline and please cancel my order. |
