Educational Excellence Information

The new DKG International Educational Excellence Committee no longer creates and distributes the EEC Umbrella bi-monthly newsletter. However, this EEC Information Sheet is a wonderful resource to keep track of the committee's focus during the 2024-2026 biennium, including:
  • Program and Project Resource Bank
  • GIRLS Initiative (International Project)Supporting Educators (International Project)
  • UN/NGO & CTAUN
  • Support State Organization EEC Chairs
  • Training EEC Chairs
  • EEC Basecamp Monthly Posts 
Please share this resource, which includes a slide deck and several links, with interested chapter members and committee chairs. One link is available to submit your chapter's favorite programs and projects.

Though not on this sheet, the creation of both personal and professional Visionary Networks and "Affinity Groups." At this time, the following have been announced at the International level, as listed on the DKG International website:
"The DKG Visionary Network was created based on a recommendation from the Avenue M Report. Virtual, interest-based groups within the network are available exclusively to DKG members.
"The DKG Visionary Network aims to establish a long-term, organized system for creating, implementing, and nurturing affinity groups throughout the entire Society. An affinity group consists of regular gatherings of individuals who focus on a specific professional or personal topic. These groups are designed to provide support, strengthen connections, and promote growth among their members.
"Examples of our previously submitted Virtual Groups include:

  • Handling Change Along Life’s Journey
  • The Art of Zentangle®
  • Challenges in Special Education
  • Family Caregivers
  • Wellness for Leaders
  • Simple Crafts
  • Conversational Spanish"

Some states have created their own affinity groups, with Illinois serving as an excellent example. Please let me know if you would like to host a virtual affinity group within Connecticut!

Thank you,
Linda
CTSO DKG, 1st Vice President/Educational Excellence Committee Chair
