  MTA Summer Conference

  Ends 8/6Springfield, MA

  MTA Organizing Institute
  This new program is designed to provide a space for teams of three or more from MTA locals and committees to consider and plan strategies to shift to an organizational model that:

  • Engages in deep internal organizing that emphasizes greater member involvement.
  • Widens the scope of our power and influence by engaging in a program of student and family engagement, community organizing and coalition building.
  • Encourages an ongoing process of analyzing the political, economic and regulatory environment in which we exist.

  To Apply: Interested members should approach their local or chapter president or MTA field representative about sending a team to the institute.

   

  New Member Program
  Participants in this program will work with peers to understand the changing face of public education and the often confusing world of educational policy and legislation that affect them as classroom teachers and school-based educators. There will be an opportunity to learn about different approaches to collective bargaining and participate in a mock negotiating session.

  To Apply: This program is open to those in their first five years of practice. Please email Erin Tracy atetracy@massteacher.org for registration assistance.
