My State Teach Tomorrow Summit Highlight



 The following blog assignment can be found here

TAFE Website


The trip to Houston, Texas was definitely a trip to remember. Although we did not get the award of advancing to nationals, there were many things that made the trip a good one. The best part of the trip would have to of been Sunday. After waking up, eating breakfast, and attending the first general session, we traveled to the University of Houston for breakout sessions. I liked how we were able to choose the ones we went to, and how there was a very large variety. I attended one about making teacher created materials out of recycled objects, one with the author of Teach Like a Pirate, Dave Burgess, and one about working with hearing and vision impaired students, and students diagnosed with autism. I found the last breakout session very interesting. Overall, I had a great time in Houston, and I would quickly recommend this trip to my fellow TAFE members who did not participate, because it was a great chance to get closer with the future teachers in our chapter, and surround ourselves with other future teachers around the state of Texas. I can't wait for the 2017 state conference!
