Private or business sponsors donate the subscriptions to the NIE program. To find out how you may participate, visit our sponsor page . Please visit the rest of this web site to learn what a wonderful program NIE has become in our area schools. Well, there is. It is called the Newspapers in Education program.
Teachers use guidebooks to prepare lessons that work with the information found in the newspapers.
This augments the lessons already being taught in that classroom. For example let's say a teacher decides to cover how a bill becomes a law. That teacher can use the latest stories about our legislative process to help illustrate that lesson. Of course this is just one example of thousands of different ways to utilize this resource. Mid-Illinois Newspapers can get your classroom setup and a plan laid out.
