Read/Share the Fall Issue

As part of TASA’s centennial celebration, the fall issue of TASA INSIGHT features 100 quotes from 100 school leaders on the impact TASA has had on them. In this issue, we also say goodbye to the late Johnny L. Veselka, who served TASA for 40+ years. The “Higher Education” column by Catherine Horn focuses on the potential long-term benefits of HB 2. “Tech Take,” penned by the TETL Next Digital Shift Committee, addresses how technology has shaped student communication in the digital age. Canutillo ISD’s Gustavo Reveles discusses true educational choice in “TSPRA Voice,” and 2025 Texas Elementary Teacher of the Year Kristi Leff looks at the importance of robust elementary science instruction in “Teacher Perspective.”
