Today I attended a TAFE workshop at my FCSTAT conference in Dallas, Texas.

TAFE= Texas Association of Future Educators

Although a lot of the information was overwhelming, I feel that this will be a great club to offer our students that are wanting to be future educators and are enrolled in our education strand!  There are several things that stood out to me that make it unique compared to FCCLA (which is already offered at our school).

1. Any student may join (whether they are enrolled in FACS classes or not)
2. Affiliation is $80 for your chapter & national affiliation is FREE for all students
3. This year (2018/2019) TAFE is now considered an Honor Society which means students may receive stols & or cords for graduation!

I am looking forward to implementing this club at Bandera with my students & watching them grow as future educators ( we NEED good educators!) I have my work cut out for me- Regional Competition is November 2nd!  YIKES!
