California Teachers: Building a Better State for Public Education


On May 9 we will mark the 30th anniversary of California’s Day of the Teacher. This year's Day of the Teacher theme is "California Teachers: Building a Better State for Public Education."
We know that we are working hard every day to prepare our students for success in the future. We know that California's future success depends on these students, and that's why this year's theme is so aptly chosen. We are building a better state for public education, and we are working in public education to build a better California.
Legislation for Day of the Teacher was co-sponsored by CTA and the Association of Mexican American Educators and adopted in 1982. California has patterned its celebration after the traditional “El Dia del Maestro” festivities observed in Mexico and other Latin American countries.
