2007 FTA Student Gathering

Welcome to the Future Teachers of Alaska (FTA) Program website! FTA is a statewide collaborative effort to "grow our own teachers" at the K-12 level. Since the program began in 2003, we have worked with fifteen partners and affiliates to pilot over 50 FTA clubs across Alaska.

We would like to announce the 2008 Annual Future Teachers of Alaska Student Gathering which will be held April 9-11, 2008 in Juneau, Alaska. This is a great opportunity for FTA students, advisors, Alaska Native educators, and any others interested in networking and learning more about becoming a teacher. The gathering theme is Haa Shagoon, which in the Tlingit language means, "Who we are and where we are from". This gathering will feature interactive workshops, fun tours, and dynamic speakers that will inspire you as you prepare for your future career.

We hope to see you there!

Quyana,

Ac’aralek Lolly Carpluk, UA SW FTA Program Director
