California Teachers Association Career Opportunities

The California Teachers Association (CTA) is California's largest professional employee organization, representing more than 340,000 public school teachers, counselors, psychologists, librarians, other non-supervisory certificated personnel, and Education Support Professionals (ESPs). CTA is affiliated with the 3.2 million-member National Education Association (NEA).

More than 1,100 chapters or local teachers associations are chartered as CTA affiliates. Two unique CTA Chapters are "statewide" affiliates: The California Faculty Association (CFA), the bargaining agent for professors in the California State University system and the Community College Association (CCA), representing members in 42 chapters who work in 72 community college districts across the state.

CTA exists to protect and promote the well-being of its members; to improve the conditions of teaching and learning; to advance the cause of free, universal, and quality public education; to ensure that the human dignity and civil rights of all children and youth are protected; and to secure a more just, equitable, and democratic society.
