Ready to unleash the instructional power of TSA? Competitions don't have to live outside your classroom - they can become meaningful, standards-aligned learning experiences. This practical session helps CSITT teachers transform TSA events into authentic instructional tools that align with curriculum goals and classroom grading. Explore how to crosswalk TSA events with course objectives, adapt competition rubrics to measure student learning, and use TSA projects as assessments - not add-ons. Leave with classroom-ready strategies, modified rubric ideas, and planning tools that make TSA instruction relevant, manageable, and sustainable.
