Beginning Teacher Scholarships replace that program, and will be given to recent college graduates who need money to purchase classroom supplies and pay for teacher certification tests.<\/p>\n<p>Ten scholarships will be provided in 2017. Each scholarship is worth $750! If you know of a soon-to-be or recent college graduate who will begin teaching for the first time in the fall of 2017, have them <a href=\"http:\/\/trtf.org\/trtf\/assets\/File\/Beginning%20Teacher%20Scholarship%20Application%202016-2017.pdf\">apply for the scholarship via this application<\/a>. The deadline to submit applications is March 16, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Members can donate to the Foundation to <a href=\"https:\/\/npo.justgive.org\/nonprofits\/donate.jsp?ein=74-2958842\">support this program here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qfS73EflTyI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The TRTF Board of Trustees spent their careers in public education, and now they are giving back to the community by volunteering their time. Unanimously, their advice for new teachers is simple: love what you do!<\/p>\n<p>Elva Garcia worked as a home economics teacher for 35 years at San Diego High School in San Diego, Texas. Her inspiration to teach came from her home economics teacher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved her method of teaching,\u201d Garcia said. \u201cAt the end of the day, on certain days of the week, we had an end product to either eat or to wear or whatever the case was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During Garcia\u2019s time as a teacher, she learned the value of teaching with passion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never wanted to be an administrator. I loved what I did. I loved my students,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I retired, I missed them more than I missed my colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Garcia\u2019s best advice for new teachers is to be well-prepared and punctual.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey need to arrive at school early enough to where the students can see that she cares. That she\u2019s there before they\u2019re there,\u201d Garcia said.<\/p>\n<p>Lynn Granzin worked 41 years in public education between San Angelo ISD, Lubbock ISD, Bronte ISD and Miles ISD. Her primary purpose was to teach math. She believes the new generation of teachers are under additional pressure to make sure students are receiving passing grades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pressure comes from the state to begin with,\u201d Granzin said. \u201cOf course, then it trickles down to the superintendents and to the principals\u2026 Your schools have to pass in order for the school to be accepted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlos Ortiz serves as TRTF\u2019s Vice-President. He worked in public education for 33 years as a math teacher, principal and associate superintendent at Alamo Heights High School and North Side ISD in San Antonio, Texas. His best advice for a beginning teachers is to master the subject.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn your subject matter, whether it be English or math or elementary education, know the how and the why of teaching,\u201d he said. \u201cKnow how to reach what that youngster has between his ears.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz said the most important information a teacher needs to know is the student\u2019s name. He describes it as \u201cthe sweetest sound\u201d a student can hear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donate Today!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Foundation Month is when TRTF makes its annual call for donations.
