Texas Classroom Teachers Association

Why should you join a Teacher's Association?
Regardless of how good a teacher you are, it only takes or one angry parent or one disciplinary accident to threaten your career. In addition to legal protection, an association offers you networking and career resources, along with opportunities for leadership and to stay current in your profession.

Why should you chose TCTA?
There are many organizations that offer to represent teachers in Texas, but the Texas Classroom Teachers Association (TCTA) is exclusively tailored to the needs of teachers and educators and other nonsupervisory professionals. Founded in 1927, the TCTA is a nonprofit, independent professional association with no labor union affiliations
