T.A.F.E. (Texas Association of Future Educators) is a statewide organization that offers students the opportunity to explore the teaching profession. We accomplish this by creating and exploring various activities, workshops, contests, scholarships, and summer camps.
The organization was created in 1984 by the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals so that the best high school students in Texas would have the following opportunities:
- To learn about the teaching profession, its opportunities, responsibilities, and its important role in our democracy.
- To explore their interests and abilities in relation to the various fields of teaching.
- To cultivate the qualities of character, service, and leadership which are essential in good teachers.
- To learn how and where teachers receive their training, the cost, scholarships available, number of years required, certification requirements, and standards.
- To study the lives and influence of great teachers.
