Becoming aware that K-12 French programs were being eliminated when schools could not find a qualified teacher and that fewer French students were choosing the path toward teaching, the AATF created a commission to address these issues. The Commission’s two main goals are to increase the number of students majoring and minoring in French at the post-secondary level and of those specifically pursuing K-12 French certification.
The Commission’s work includes identifying and promoting best practices to encourage the pursuit of careers in French education, facilitating teaching jobs in French being filled, and providing support to post-secondary and pre-service students, as well as teachers who are new-to-the profession.
The Commission uses its Facebook page to publicize job openings around the country and to remind our members that we have a wonderful career.
We live our passion for French in the classroom and beyond!

Commission for the Promotion of French (July 10, 2025)
Commission members and others are invited to join together in a light working breakfast to discuss the goals of this commission. **Tickets required for participation**
The Commission for the Promotion of French was created in the fall of 1994 as a Task Force and chaired by AATF Past-President Marie-Christine Koop until fall 1997, when it became a commission. Its main objective was to help teachers recruit students by producing various documents such as flyers, guides, teaching ideas, and letters to convince students, parents, and administrators of the value of French. Many of the materials developed by the Task Force and the Commission are available through the AATF Materials Center and Online Store.
The Commission is currently working on promotional materials for social media. Based upon the success of that project, other materials will be rolled out in the future. The possibility of a new series of promotional posters is also being explored.
They are also continuing to create step-by-step guides for activities to promote French in your school and community. The existing guides, as well as other promotional materials, can be found on the commission’s site: click here to visit.
