TSTA-Student Program Events

TSTA-STUDENT PROGRAM STATE CONVENTION
The annual State Convention of the Texas State Teachers Association-Student Program is held in the spring. Information pertaining to the convention will be mailed to each local in January. 

OUTREACH TO TEACH - TEXAS
Outreach to Teach - Texas is a school supplies drive started by the Executive Board of TSTA-SP.  Each local and district organization can collect school supplies for students in their areas that have a financial need.  The supplies will be collected throughout the year and distributed through the local student program chapters.  For more information contact a TSTA-Student Program officer.

TSTA HOUSE OF DELEGATES STATE CONVENTION
The TSTA State Convention provides an opportunity for TSTA-SP members to observe and participate in the action of the state association. Workshops and agenda will be available on the TSTA web site's calendar section and in the TSTA Advocate magazine. The number of TSTA-SP delegates is based on the TSTA-SP membership on May 31 of the preceding year – one delegate for each seventy-five members. Delegates will be elected at the TSTA-SP Convention.

NEA STUDENT PROGRAM LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
The NEA Student Leadership Training Workshop is the annual meeting of the student NEA delegates to the NEA Representative Assembly and is held in June of each year preceding the NEA Representative Assembly.  This leadership workshop is held in the same city and state as the NEA RA. Featured will be workshops, speakers, and training sessions and business.  All members are encouraged to attend and interact with participants from across the United States.  Delegates who will represent Texas are elected on a statewide ballot, which is sent to each local for individual members to vote.  One delegate is elected for the first fifty student members and a second delegate when the membership reaches 750 and an additional delegate for each 500 members thereafter.  The allocation shall be on the basis of membership received at TSTA Headquarters as of March 15 of the year of the NEA Representative Assembly.

National Education Association Representative Assembly
The NEA Representative Assembly, attended by more than 10,000 delegates each year, is one of the most fascinating and memorable opportunities afforded by membership in TSTA-SP. TSTA-SP is allocated delegates to the NEA Representative Assembly on the ratio of one delegate for the first 50 members, a second delegate when the membership reaches 750 and an additional delegate for each 500 members thereafter. The allocation shall be on the basis of membership received at TSTA Headquarters as of March 15 of the year of the NEA Representative Assembly.
