JIS Cilandak Libraries Newsletter: August 13, 2021-- HS and MS Faculty

We have a subscription to the weekly periodical THE MARSHALL MEMO (TMM) including complete access to their archives.  Many of you may want to check out this awesome resource.  Simply stated, it is like a READER's DIGEST of education academic journals.  

“The MARSHALL MEMO, published since 2003, is designed to keep principals, teachers, superintendents, and others very well-informed on current research and best practices in the field…What do subscribers gain from the 20 minutes it takes to read TMM? For one thing, they feel less guilty about not getting to all those journals piled up on their desks. More importantly, they tap into a rich vein of ideas and resources that can help them be more effective.”

If you would like to receive an email alert when a new issue arrives simply send me an email at mschafer@jisedu.or.id.  

Please note:  

• IMPORTANT #1-  If you already receive TMM, you do NOT need to re-subscribe.  Simply continue as if this email did not exist.  
• IMPORTANT #2- I was able to negotiate this under the condition we do not share our access or forward issues to anyone outside of the JIS Middle and High School community.  Please respect their terms or we will forfeit our subscription.
