About Us
The Texas State
Teachers Association- Student Program (TSTA-SP) is a professional
education organization with chapters located all over the state of
Texas. We are the student-led version of TSTA, which is for certified
teachers, and we are also affiliated with the National Education
Association (NEA), which is 3.2 million members strong nationwide. Our
organization serves several important purposes. One purpose is to
educate future teachers on the latest issues within Texas legislation
and advocate for changes in laws, new testing methods, and improved ways
of communication between parents, teachers, students, and communities. TSTA-SP also serves as a network for pre-service educators by coming
together to share ideas, thoughts, and concerns about issues going on in
Texas schools. Our organization is committed to providing outstanding
and memorable pre-professional experiences and opportunities to
dedicated future teachers.
TSTA-SP is not an organization for education majors
only. It is a society for all who wish to touch the lives of children
and young adults in a positive way. Currently, our Texas A&M TSTA
chapter has approximately 165 members. We hold meetings twice a
month on Monday nights for a total of 6-8 meetings per semester. At
each meeting, we welcome knowledgeable and experienced speakers from
Bryan, College Station, Houston, and Austin to discuss current topics
and issues of concern. We also hold social events and participate in
community service activities throughout the year.
