A TALAT Club is a great way for students to learn more about the education profession, have fun and participate in activities that may help them decide if teaching is a good career choice for them.
The TALAT Club can introduce students at various levels (middle and high school) to the benefits of being a teacher, while providing enough experiences to support students’ aspirations to become educators. There are several benefits for students taking part in an education career club:
Build understanding of the nature of education, the various roles of educators, and different educational fields.
Explore current issues in K–12 education and hot topics.
Provide hands-on experience and time to practice new teaching skills.
Participate in activities they enjoy, learn new skills and meet new people including professionals in the field.
Encourage students from diverse backgrounds to consider the teaching profession.
Get involved in special projects, community service, and volunteerism.
Show a potential college student’s commitment to an education career.
