Extracurricular Clubs
Extracurricular clubs have the potential for easily reaching a large number of
students. Nation-wide extracurricular clubs serve more middle and high school
students than any other type of precollegiate teacher recruitment activity.
Future teacher clubs, such as the National Future Educators of America, have been
in existence since the 1950's and have undergone resurgence in the late 1980's and
early 1990's. A Club-style program offers districts that want to promote careers
in education a way to reach a large number of students while using fewer resources
than many other approaches.
Future Educators of America is a national program for middle and High School students interested in exploring careers in education.
The national office coordinates the dissemination of information about teaching as a profession,
employment opportunities, financial assistance, national institute and workshop information as well
as supporting local FEA Chapters.
Within Oregon, Beaverton High School currently supports a
FEA Chapter
and provides information about the chapter including projects and activities on the chapter's website.
