Happy Labor Day from ATPE’s Teach the Vote!
Date Posted: 8/30/2024
ATPE’s Teach the Vote Week in Review will be back next week. We wish you a safe and relaxing three-day weekend filled with Friday night lights, time with family and friends, and good sleep. It’s well deserved!
If you’re in the Central Texas area, don’t forget that educators can attend next week’s Texas Tribune Festival for only $75. TribFest will take place Sept. 5–7 in downtown Austin. You must use an institution-affiliated ticket (ending in .edu or .org) to purchase the discounted ticket at https://trib.it/X5S3xw. ATPE is proud to partner with TribFest to offer continuing professional education (CPE) credit for Texas educators at more than 50 sessions. To see which sessions are eligible for CPE credit, visit the TribFest schedule. Click the yellow “Filters” button on the top left, then click “Topics & Tags.” Choose “CPE Credit – Educators.” Credits will be tracked using the ATPE Professional Learning Portal. For more information, please contact prof_dev@atpe.org.
