TAFE Teacher Leader's Workshop

July 14-15, 2025 | Renaissance Dallas Addison Hotel
Addison, TX

This two-day workshop is the very best opportunity for new and veteran teacher leaders to share ideas, and get information needed for a successful year in TAFE. New teacher leaders will get foundational information, exciting tips, and shortcuts on managing their chapter in ways that will make life easier and more productive. All participants will gain a broader understanding of their important role as a teacher leader and earn required CE hours in the process. We will also have information about Area Conferences, and the Teach Tomorrow Summit, Competitive Event updates and what is new in TAFE and Educators Rising. Come join us, connect with others, and get tips for a successful year.

The TAFE Teacher Leader’s Workshop is in conjunction with the FCSTAT Conference. Many TAFE teacher leaders are in both TAFE and FCSTAT and are limited to one conference a year.  Combining with FCSTAT gives them the opportunity to attend both conferences for one price.

Presenters are needed to present 45-minute sessions.   If you would like to present at the FCSTAT Conference, CLICK HERE for the RFP Presenter Application.  Thank you!
