CTA includes teachers, counselors, school librarians, social workers, psychologists, and nurses. These educators in the K-12 school system are joined by community college faculty, California State University faculty, and education support professionals to make CTA the most inclusive and most powerful voice of educators in the state.

CTA is also a powerful and passionate advocate for students and public education. Our 325,000 members not only make us strong, they make us the state’s largest professional employee organization. And, as the largest affiliate in the 3.2 million-member National Education Association, our voice is also heard as far away as Washington, DC.

All together – and throughout our history – we have worked to improve the conditions of teaching and learning in California.
