Ex officio members are the international president and Membership Services Administrator. • The committee may function as a whole and in smaller groups to accomplish its responsibilities *Constitution, Article VIII, Section C.1.

  5. EEC Goals • Promote the Schools for Africa Project • Support Early-Career Educators • Encourage programs that • Increase members’ personal and professional pride • Focus on educational excellence • Promote the DKG/UN relationship • Increase members’ global awareness • Impact educational law and policy

  6. International EEC has provided links on the Society Web site that lead to many resources for state organizations and chapters.

  7. Examples • Monthly Schools for Africa Newsettes with program and fund-raising ideas, up-to-date information on total Society donations, and fact sheets on countries involved.

  8. Examples • Early-career Educator support resources, including • THAT--Teachers Helping Another Teacher project (from California State Organization) • Dinner and a Movie (from Omega Chapter, Oregon)

  9. How do State Organizations and Chapters transition from Program of Work Committees to Educational Excellence?

  10. Remember! State organizations and chapters are notrequired to have the same named committees as has the international level. They are required to fulfill the work of those committees that apply to state organization and chapter levels. Key Idea:

  11. Some Options: • Keep same names/organization--incorporate new duties as necessary. • Give current POW committees new names • Have one Educational Excellence Committee with more members who work together in smaller groups to achieve the responsibilities and report back to the whole. • Devise a totally unique plan that works for your particular state organization or chapter.

  12. Key Idea: Remember, so long as the work of the Educational Excellence Committee is fulfilled, state organizations and chapters have great flexibility as to how the work is fulfilled.

  13. Let’s focus on: • Promoting Schools for Africa • Program topic • Activity topic • Fundraising ideas • Donation form on DKG website • Resources/links Key Idea: Each goal of the EEC has resources available on the DKG website!

  14. Let’s focus on: • Supporting Early-career Educators: • THAT model • Monetary support ideas • Time support ideas • Fundraising ideas Key Idea: Should the EEC recommend that Supporting Early-Career Educators become a second international project?

  15. Let’s focus on: • Encouraging programs and activities that: • Focus on Educational Excellence • Promote the DKG/UN Relationship • Increase Global Awareness • Impact Educational Law and Policy • Increase Personal and Professional Pride Key Idea: The DKG website offers program and project ideas for all of these topics.
