SAVE THE DATE: 
Saturday January 24, 2026
11:00 am - 12:30 pm
and join us for an exciting Webinar:
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE CLASSROOM


This webinar, the first in a series on Artificial Intelligence (AI) hosted by CTAUN, will focus on AI in education -- how it is being integrated into the classroom at all levels and the role of the United Nations in its application.

Experts from the UN will join with education practitioners to show that AI can be used to promote learning skills, increase student engagement. The discussion will include practical examples of AI applications in the classroom, a look at the downsides of AI, and initiatves underway for the creation of "guardrails" to ensure that AI is being used ethically and equitably.

 The UN has dedicated focal points to address AI and other emerging technologies. As a result, UN Member States have adopted policies to ensure AI is "safe, secure and trustworthy."
​
Join us on January 24 - designated the International Day of Education - to hear from UN representatives and practitioners about progress and effective strategies to prevent misuse, ensuring children's rights to healthy development.
Details will be posted on our website: teachun.org
WITH BEST WISHES FOR A HEALTHY, HAPPY AND PEACEFUL NEW YEAR!

Congratulations, Rachel Kaczor!

The Margaret Abel Scholarship was awarded to Rachel Kaczor, a graduate student at Montclair State University, at the DKGNJ convention in April. Rachel was among a group of 15 candidates, and is pursuing her master’s degree in music education. In accepting the award, she spoke of the importance of all students having equal access to quality music education. She teaches private  voice and piano lessons, volunteers with community theatre productions, is the music director of her church, and substitutes in various school districts. Rachel will truly be an asset in any future educational environment.

A special thank you to the Chairs of the Scholarship Committee, Wilhelmina Bryant and Susan Relles and the scholarship committee members for their hard work in selecting a recipient.

Welcome 2024 Inductees!

Disclaimer Requirement from DKG

10/4/2023

 
Dear State Organization Presidents,
 
Recently, there have been actions which have caused great concern resulting from postings on several different social media and web sites affiliated with but not managed by the International Society. In general, owners of creative content are growing increasingly intolerant regarding the misuse of intellectual property.  As a result, recent incidents related to such misuse by entities at various levels within our organization have resulted in both actualized and potential liabilities to the Society. 
 
Therefore, the Administrative Board and counsel have approved the placement of a notice on DKG affiliated internet sites (including social media accounts, such as Facebook) that we hope will defray liability and protect the Society.  We want to support the continued use of the DKG name and logo by members, chapters, and state organizations. However, we also cannot and do not wish to monitor the many affiliated sites in order to identify potential liability and risk. Please note the attached disclaimer statement (also provided in Spanish for use by Spanish speaking entities) that we request be posted on any website or social media site that bears the DKG Society International name (including “DKG” or the DKG logo). As state organization presidents, we request that you share this information with your chapter leaders. 
 
Thank you for your assistance and understanding as we all work together to protect the Society. 
 Warmly,
 Nita
