Founded by educators for educators, the Association of Texas Professional Educators (ATPE) is the leading educators’ association in Texas and the largest independent educators’ association in the United States. ATPE exists to serve the needs of Texas teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators and all public education employees and fights for our schools on the local, state and national levels. The ATPE philosophy is simple. We believe it takes everyone working together to improve Texas public schools. We work with all stakeholders in public education, regardless of political party or platform. We work collaboratively with all sides of any debate to find the best solution. And we represent the priorities defined by our members—working educators who are passionate about Texas public schools.

Just in time for winter break, The ATPE Podcast is back from its hiatus with a mid-year reset of its own: a new format!
The refreshed podcast format features two co-hosts—Andrea Hutlock and Kate Johanns—as well as a shorter length, a wider variety of content, and, coming in the new year, the inclusion of member voices. We’ll still feature advocacy and legal content on the regular, but we’ll also cover professional learning, leadership growth, and opportunities to save money using your member discounts!
In this episode, we:
- Discuss the 2026 ATPE Summit Call for Proposals (Submission deadline: 12)
- Learn about new courses available on demand in the ATPE Professional Learning Portal
- Explore opportunities to save on online shopping using the ATPE Discounts & Rewards Marketplace
Discuss this episode and share ideas for future segments in the ATPE Online Community.
