Student California Teachers Association (SCTA) consists of college students pursuing careers as educators. SCTA provides opportunities to address the broader aspects of education such as technological advances, governmental policies and issues, social issues and philosophical controversies.
LOCAL
Local chapters provide support with job interviewing skills, resume writing, classroom management, multicultural education and other vital concerns. Chapters also serve as a forum for advising students about the education programs provided at their institutions while providing opportunities to network with professional educators.
REGIONAL
Regional SCTA conferences focus on developing members’ communication skills and leadership skills. These events allow members to meet students from neighboring schools to exchange ides and concerns.
STATE
Student California Teachers Association is the largest student organization in California with members on more than 70 campuses. It is led by an elected executive board of student members who provide publications, services and representation within the CTA.
NATIONAL
National Education Association Student Program (NEA-SP) is the largest united student voice in the nation and provides student members with publications, service and representation. Students alone tend to feel we are victims of the system instead of part of it. When we join with 300,000 CTA members and 2.4 million NEA members, we can truly improve the profession we have chosen for our careers.
