TAFE
The Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE – pronounced “taffy”) is a co-curricular statewide non-profit (501 c3) student organization created to allow young men and women an opportunity to explore the teaching profession.
The organization was created in 1984 to provide the best and brightest middle and high school students in Texas with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions about pursuing careers in education.
TAFE is sponsored by the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals and is governed by a board of directors comprised of teachers, students and principals.
TAFE is one of the nine Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) recognized by the Texas Education Agency. TAFE is proud to be the newest CTSO recognized in Texas. TAFE proudly supports the work of the Educators Rising – the organization’s national affiliate – and each year a delegation of TAFE’s top student leaders attend the National Conference to represent the lone star state.
