CTA's Year in Review
A M I D S O M E O F the most difficult challenges
educators have ever faced, CTA continues to lead the
fight for the resources all students need, the schools
they deserve, and the safe and healthy teaching and
learning conditions our school communities require.
Much of this is showcased in CTA's new Annual Report
(cta.org/cta-year-in-review-2019-2020). From winning
accountability and transparency for charter schools,
to fighting for racial and social justice, to supporting
and championing educators in myriad ways, CTA is
unstoppable — thanks to you.
March: Arts Education Month
R E S E A R C H S H O W S T H A T learning arts subjects alongside
math, history, science and English helps boost student success.
Students who have an arts education achieve more A grades (in
all subjects), have better attendance, are more likely to graduate
from high school, and have better critical thinking, collaboration
and social-emotional skills than those who don't. Learn more and
get ideas for your students at Create CA (createca.org).
