Teaching A Rural Area That Qualifies For Title I Funding

I teach in a rural area that qualifies for Title I funding, so you can imagine that I serve where I am needed.

Through the Texas public education system, I have had to interact with parents on a daily basis, and most days that involves educating the parent as to what is happening in their child’s classroom. But, it is not just the student-parent-teacher relationship that needs fostering; as educators we must continue to educate our own whether they are a first year teacher or a veteran.

Being part of TAP, I realized that I have much to offer other teachers, and I can serve peers without forfeiting service to my students.
