The TSA Creed
I believe that Technology Education holds an
important place in my life in the technical
world. I believe there is a need for the
development of good attitudes concerning work,
tools, materials, experimentation and processes
of industry. Guided by my teachers, artisans
from industry and my own initiative, I will
strive to do my best in making my school,
community, state and nation better places in
which to live. I will accept the
responsibilities that are mine. I will accept
the theories that are supported by proper
evidence. I will explore on my own for safer,
more effective methods of working and
living. I will strive to develop a cooperative
attitude and will exercise tact and respect
for other individuals. Through the work of my
hands and mind, I will express my ideas to the
best of my ability. I will make it my goal to
do better each day the task before me, and to be
steadfast in my belief in my God and my fellow
Americans.

TSA in the School
Organizing a local chapter of TSA in a
technology education program at your school
involves many factors.

• an alert and vigorous membership
• an interested instructor/advisor
• a good working team of chapter officers
• the cooperation of the school administration

The most important factors to success are
the teamwork and interest of the members and
their determination to make their chapter a
success.
