Student Organizations

The School of Education has two student organizations, one for teacher licensure students, Tomorrow's Teachers Today (TTT), and one for graduate students, Student Association of Graduate Students (SAGE).

Tomorrow's Teachers Today (TTT)

Tomorrow's Teachers Today (TTT) is an organization of students in teacher licensure programs that emphasizes the active participation of future teachers. TTT meets monthly to provide an educational and decision-making forum for any elementary and secondary education student enrolled at the university. Meetings center on agendas and discussions selected and developed by students. The elected executive board organizes functions that address current issues, opportunities, and challenges facing prospective teachers.

Six goals have been established and articulated by TTT including:

• Communication: To help build a well-informed student community,
• Connections: To form a support network for students among faculty, practicing teachers, and administrators,
• Policy and Practice: To create opportunities for learning about the social, economic, and political issues that affect teachers and students in public schools,
• Field Placement: To provide support to students throughout their practicum experiences, in particular during their pivotal student teaching experience,
• Career Choices: To provide students opportunities and skills necessary to make the transition successfully from teacher education candidates to certified educators, and
• Student Voice: To give students a voice in matters concerning their educational experiences in the School of Education.

TTT works hand-in-hand with the School of Education faculty, staff, and administrators in achieving these goals and many others. The hope is to create an undergraduate organization that nurtures dialogue and supports the values of our democratic society. The end result is a cadre of knowledgeable, well prepared, and articulate teachers and members of the education profession.

Student Association of Graduate Educators (SAGE)

The mission of SAGE is to build community among graduate students in the School of Education. New and continuing graduate students volunteer to organize academic and social activities, including welcoming new students, introducing them to the academic community, and organizing brown bag lunch seminars. SAGE also acts to maintain open communication between faculty and students as well as to the University Graduate Student Council. If you are interested in being a part of SAGE, contact:
