Future Teachers of America was developed in 1937 at the National level and is now a project of the Tennessee Education Association.
Future Teachers of America is composed of three fine ideas. The Future belongs to youth and is full of hope, opportunity, and promise for those who prepare themselves for it. Teachers are the builders of civilization. Next to the parents who pass on the unending stream of life come the teachers who preserve, enrich, and transmit the ideals and purposes of the human race. America is peculiary the home of the Future and the Teacher. It is a magnificent country filled with purpose and promise. It gives a higher place to teachers than does any country.
