Start the new school year off with our Fall 2021 issue of the ATPE News magazine. 

In this issue, you will:

• Learn how agricultural education combines classroom learning, student development through FFA, and work-based learning experiences to cultivate personal growth and career readiness for Texas students.
• Understand how climate change research can become misconstrued by communication go-betweens—and what classroom strategies science teachers can use to improve understanding of this subject.
• Dive into what we know and don’t know about the HB 3 Reading Academies.

Plus:

• It’s been a long, turbulent road for the 87th Texas Legislature. ATPE Governmental Relations takes a look at the major education bills debated this spring and summer.
• In Your Voice, understand how statewide officials have the power to help or harm public education—and how it’s our job as voters to choose the right person for each job.
• Our latest technology column, the Learning Curve, delves into how virtual learning techniques can be used in the classroom.
• Finally, in Your Ally, we go over everything you need to know about handling activity funds.

As always, you will also learn how your association continues to support efforts to elevate public education in Texas.
