IEF Weekly E-Newsletter

This replaces the Insurance Educator and Foundation Facts that were published 3 times a year (back issues of these printed versions can be found at www.IEI.org)

It is our hope to make the most current and up-to-date information on insurance available to teachers for use in the classroom. If you are a teacher, please check out the Educators page of the site by clicking on the “Educator” icon in the left-hand margin of the main page.

Here you will find links to hot topics, and sections on the most relevant insurance information for your students, such as auto, homeowners/renters, health and life insurance.

We’ve included other web sites for additional information, and have a host of other resources on each topic available for you to order online either through IEI directly, or with another organization providing the resource.

This is where you will also find information about other IEI programs, such as the summer institutes, the James L. Osborne Teacher of the Year award, and other new developments of the Foundation.

Don’t forget to register for the site by clicking on the icon in the right-hand margin. It will be required to register if you wish to place an order for materials.

If you are a contributor of IEI, check out the Supporters page. Here you will find information on fund raising activities held in conjunction with the PCI and NAMIC annual meetings. You will also find information on how to sponsor a teacher to attend an institute, and how to participate in the “Network with Teachers” program that promotes developing a link between a teacher and a local insurance representative.

The e-newsletter is scheduled for release as often as there is new information to share. Please feel free to pass this information along to any of your colleagues or friends. They too can sign up to receive the newsletter!

Institute graduates now number 2,390, attending from all fifty states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda! One hundred and fifty educators graduated from this year’s program, returning to their classroom reinforced with new information, resources, lesson plans, classroom materials, and three graduate credits.
