More and more states are acknowledging the importance of early-career interest in recruitment and retainment of teachers and educators. Programs such as Florida Future Educators of America and The New Teacher Academy recognize this and more!
Since 1986, the Florida Department of Education has provided assistance to schools in forming and maintaining chapters of Florida Future Educators of America (FFEA), a pre-collegiate and collegiate teacher recruitment program. The program provides a forum for students to become aware of career opportunities in education and nurtures their interest in teaching as a career. It also provides an avenue for collegiate members to stay informed of the latest issues and advancements in the education profession. FFEA is administered through local school chapters at all grade levels - elementary through postsecondary. A teacher or faculty advisor is required to provide the leadership for each chapter.

The Academy started at River Ridge High School in Pasco County Florida with 37 students in August, 2016. Some students are passionate about teaching when they enter the NTA; others are just exploring the possibility of teaching. The program is designed to provide authentic experience for students to explore the teaching career prior to entering college. With the hands-on opportunities provided, many decide teaching should be their career choice. Most of the students who graduate from the NTA program go on to college education programs to become teachers. Partnerships with Hudson Elementary, Gulfside Elementary, and Schrader Elementary represent some of the schools where NTA students gain meaningful experience by working directly with students.
