SmartBrief is an email newsletter that
is chock-full of information. It is
written by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), a group that has a goal
of making the education of gifted and disabled children more successful. SmartBrief is a collection of articles
pertinent to that goal. SmartBrief's
articles cover the areas of curriculum and instruction, technology trends,
educational leadership, policy and more.
This is an invaluable newsletter for teachers who have any kind of "exceptional"
student in their class, as it keeps educators up-to-date. It also includes a job listing at the end of
the newsletter for educators. To
unsubscribe is very simple, at the end of the newsletter there is an "unsubscribe"
button under the "Subscriber Tools" section. To

those that like politics. It gives a
right-wing approach to current political, news and mainstream events and
provides commentary and relevant historical perspective. For some it can be held as truth, for others
purely entertainment. This newsletter is
good for teachers that want their students to develop critical thinking skills
and be up-to-date on current events. It
can serve as a means to discussion and debate.
It is not supported by one political party. The authors encourage redistribution of the
material in the newsletter, since it is already free. The newsletter is funded by the subscribers
