California Education Association

The California Teachers Association (CTA) is a professional organization that represents public school educators in California. It advocates for educators’ rights, fair wages, quality education policies, and improved working conditions. As a union, it negotiates with school districts on contractual issues like salaries, benefits, and workload. The CTA also supports policies to enhance student achievement and educators’ professionalism, providing resources, legal assistance, and professional development opportunities. Its goal is to ensure that teachers have the support and resources needed to effectively educate students and to influence education policy at the state level.
