CTA keeps in touch with its members through written publications and through frequent meetings at the state, regional and local levels where members can voice their concerns and keep up-to-date on Association programs and activities.

 

All CTA-NEA members receive California Educator and NEA Today, monthly newspapers designed to keep members informed about policy decisions, legislative progress, Association accomplishments, trends in education and reports from the Association officers.

In addition, CTA prepares special publications for local Association officers, legislative contacts, Association representatives, and Service Center Council leaders.

 

With NEA assistance, CTA conducts training programs throughout the year for the purpose of updating current leaders and preparing future leaders of the Association. These conferences cover many areas of organizational management and advocacy, including bargaining, employee rights, school finance and grievance representation.

 

Conferences also focus on more personal needs, such as women's leadership skills, stress management and minority involvement training.
