I VOLUNTEER FOR ATPE because I believe in what our organization does and in the way we do it. ATPE re-evaluates all aspects of the public education system on a regular basis. It is member run, encourages members to think and vote for themselves, and is respected by state and federal lawmakers.
As educators, we face many unique and time-consuming challenges—from changing teaching methods and classroom activities to classroom management and legal requirements. ATPE provides us with information, support, legal protection,* professional development, and knowledge of education law.
Volunteering for ATPE brings education professionals together to establish strong relationships and networks. As a group, we listen to concerns and successes, provide stress relief, promote personal growth, motivate, and support each other. We also have fun! Local meetings, regional meetings, and the annual ATPE Summit offer wonderful opportunities for me to meet and celebrate with my fellow educators.
I enjoy working toward the future of Texas public school education with ATPE.
