California Teachers: Honoring our past. Guiding the future.


TODAY we mark the 31st anniversary of California’s Day of the Teacher. To honor teachers and the150th anniversary of CTA, we have chosen “California Teachers: Honoring our Past, Guiding the Future” as this year’s theme.
CTA has been making a positive impact on education for 150 years now. Our victories during that time include the establishment of free public schools for all children, the creation of our higher education system, the passage of significant funding initiatives and bonds to build and renovate schools, due process rights for teachers, class size reduction, and increasing respect for our profession.  In fact, California’s Day of the Teacher arose out of legislation co-sponsored by CTA and the Association of Mexican American Educators in 1982.
We continue to be engaged in and lead the efforts to improve education for all students in this state, now and for the future.
