TADE INFORMATIONAL SITE
TADE has a new site! TADE is currently looking for you! Do you have experience building a website? TADE has a new temporary informational site to give updates and information about the state organization which is a branch of the National Association of Developmental Education. Recently, NADE voted to rebrand and rename themselves. This means that soon, TADE will be getting a new name. In the meantime, we will host our information on the googlesite and prepare to launch the website. If you are interested in helping with this effort, please contact us with your name and contact information.

Texas College Reading and Learning Association also has a new web presence which is currently under construction. Anyone interested in helping with this effort, please contact Marti Miles-Rosenfield at mrosenfield@collin.edu with your name and contact information.
