Education and Training Contests

Education and Training teachers be sure to join both FCCLA and FTA this year.  We would like to have you all participate in the “Grow Our Own” competitions (Lesson Plan/Video contest and Teacher Notebook and Display contests) and the FCCLA STAR Event Teach and Train competition this year.  They are great projects that could easily be incorporated into the curriculum/everyday lesson plans. 

The deadline for the FTA/Teach Alabama “Grow Our Own” competition is January 15, 2013.  Students who win one of these competitions will be invited to attend a State Board of Education Meeting to receive a Resolution from the State Board.  They will also be invited to a luncheon at the AEA Building in Montgomery and Receive a Resolution from the Governor of Alabama.  

The Teach and Train FCCLA STAR Event will be held on March 16, 2013.  The winner from this event will have to opportunity to compete at the FCCLA National level.  Winners at the National level will have the opportunity to receive the following:

• May receive a gold, silver, or bronze metal depending on points scored.
• A $1000.00 Nasco scholarship may be received by one gold metal winner, after the winner applies and wins the scholarship.
• A $500.00 Nasco gift certificate will be awarded to the teacher of the student who wins the Nasco scholarship.
