The Texas Classroom Teachers Association is the leading teacher association in Texas. We represent 50,000 members statewide, including public school teachers and others directly involved in classroom teaching or teaching support, including librarians, counselors and teacher aides. 

We are a nonprofit, independent professional association with no labor union affiliations, and we have been protecting the rights of teachers and advocating on their behalf since 1927. Our mission has never wavered.
