NYC Wins "Periodical of the Year" at Association of Educational Publishers Awards
New Youth Connections (recently renamed
YCteen) is honored to have been named “Periodical of the Year” at the Association of Educational Publishers Awards on June 8. The magazine also won “Best Series” for our coverage of wars around the world in January 2010.
This recognition is especially noteworthy since
New Youth Connections teen writers compete directly with adult publications in this prestigious competition, which recognizes the nation's best educational products. Our competitors for Periodical of the Year were the
New York Times and
Wall Street Journal classroom editions.
What Makes a Great Teacher?

Our teen writers contributed essays to Student Voices: What Makes a Great Teacher?, a new report published by The College Board. The writers describe, in no uncertain terms, the characteristics required to be effective in the classroom.
