One Teacher at a Time Scholarship Program

Download "One Teacher at a Time" Packet

The Institute has witnessed many times over the transformation that occurs with teachers after two weeks of concentrated study on insurance principles addressing all lines of insurance. Teachers who previously had negligible insurance knowledge, derived mostly through personal experience, returned to their classrooms armed with facts and a positive understanding of the risk management business.

Our challenge is to convince more teachers to attend the IEI Institutes to gain this new teaching knowledge. One way that insurance companies and organizations can become directly engaged is through the sponsorship of a specific teacher. The information below describes why and how your company or organization can become a catalyst for teacher education.

Remember…for each teacher completing the Institute, more than 75 students learn about insurance each and every year the teacher is in the classroom. Your company or organization can help assure that by encouraging teachers in your local communities to become involved, they are communicating credible information to high school students.

The purpose of this program is to enable teachers to become more effective in teaching insurance.

The Institute is designed to provide the tools they need for understanding all forms of insurance, how the industry works, and what insurance careers are available.
