Mr. Best is a longtime member of NWPE who discovered there are numerous reasons to join NWPE. “I initially joined for the career protection NWPE provides. As I got more knowledgeable of NWPE, I began to promote NWPE to my colleagues. Freedom of choice allows competition, which encourages teachers, students, administrators and the public to consider different points of view. Some points of view are better able to advance education than are others. Rarely do large groups come up with innovative ideas. Opposing viewpoints breed discussion and new ways of thinking, or at least do to minds that are open to new viewpoints.”
NWPE awards $500 teacher scholarships and classroom grants twice a year. Teachers who are new to the profession or their classroom are also eligible for $250 New Classroom Start-Up Grants. All educators are eligible for the awards although NWPE members receive first preference. The next application deadline for the $500 awards is October 1, 2014. The application for the $250 New Classroom Start-Up Grants is December 31.
