Take a Look at Teaching (TALAT) is a club dedicated to guiding students on a path to becoming future and well-prepared educators and leaders. Students can participate in activities they enjoy, learn new skills, gain confidence, meet new people, and get experience that helps in a future job and career choice. The TALAT Club can introduce students to the benefits of being a teacher, while providing enough experiences to support students’ aspirations to become educators. Activities include: roundtable discussions about the profession of teaching, conferences with local schools to grow and develop as a teaching community; mentoring at the elementary schools; and initiating and assisting with activities throughout the Deer Park Union Free School District.Â
