FTA

Future Teachers of America at Cañon City High School

What exactly have FTA students done in classrooms?

When you feel that you are just doing the same thing every day and you are ready to try to provide additional support to the learning activities, then schedule a time to show this list to your cooperating teacher and ask if you could do more to help.  This list was made from the log sheets that FTA students turned in over the last few years.
