Boise State University teachers need you

The BSU Teacher Education Association is gearing up for a fun and memorial spring semester. On January 24 we will have a booth at the spring 2007 Organization Fair in the student union building, volunteers will be available to speak to students who are interested in joining our club.

We currently have 50 members who are pursuing a degree in education; we encourage you to join us in our cause to ensure that every child is provided with a great education. By joining now you to will have access to local, State and National resources and support in your future career. BSU TEA does not stop here. Being a member of TEA is very rewarding in many ways. One of our goals is to provide as much professional development as possible to our members. 

A four-hour Praxis PLT prep workshop will be held on March 17. Members of TEA are excited to announce Sean Mabey as our speaker. He is a National Education Member Benefits and Regional Representative.

BSUTEA gives members an opportunity to meet other teachers in the community too. One of our service projects this spring is READ ACROSS AMERICA. Members will achieve this experience by going to a classroom of their choice to share their love of reading with a child. 

Another great project is Out Reach to Teach during which we select a Title One school to coordinate a wish list with, this service project involves many levels of the community.
Teachers will come from all over Idaho to attend Delegate Assembly in Boise on April 13 and 14 members are welcome to attend.

Besides helping others find their dream, in May, a “Strive for 5” celebration dinner is held for all active members who have participated in at least five events throughout the year. 

Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month in the Education building and always include a valuable speaker or other type of presentation to improve our career. Our purpose and goal is to provide the best education for students and teachers. For more information contact us at BSUTEA@cableone.net.
