Newsletter Guidlines
Advocates for Chinese Education will publish a black and white newsletter two times a year in June and December. We schedule the newsletter to arrive at our members doors by the mid of the month. We have nearly 200 members in San Francisco Bay Area. We will also distribute to preschools, elementary schools and public agencies for childrens services through private and public funds.
Contribute
Our Newsletter Committee is always looking for members to participate in writing articles for the newsletter. Please review guidelines for articles and let the committee know you are interested!
Guidelines for Articles
Would you like to contribute to the newsletter? We are always looking for new talent to add to our pool of writers. Our writers at ACE Newsletter are volunteer parents on the newsletter committee or outside contributors, usually professionals and educators in Chinese Bilingual and Immersion Education fields.
Audience and topics
Most of our members are interested in Chinese education programs in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are looking for stories on Chinese Education in the Bay Area and parent stories on challenges, joys and success of teaching your children Chinese in the American language environment. We focus primarily on:
- Bay Area Chinese education related activities and topics,
- Child-related topics (Chinese books, classes, programs, playgroups…)
- Parent-related topics (Chinese schools, education programs, curriculum, classes…)
- Reviews (books for children, DVDs, music CDs, schools, neighborhoods…)
- Personal stories and experiences in raising bi-lingual kids in the San Francisco Bay Area
