The Massachusetts Teachers Association is a member-driven organization, rooted in democratic principles, that values the interdependence of professionalism and unionism. Through the collective power of its members, the MTA advances educators’ professional and economic interests while championing human and civil rights and advocating for high-quality public education in an environment where lifelong learning and innovation thrive.

MTA President Max Page
Public education, one of our nation’s greatest commitments, was invented here in Massachusetts. This is our heritage, and whose tradition you all carry forward. We were the first, and remain the finest, despite all that is challenging you and schools and colleges today. We will not give up the freedom to learn and the freedom to teach.
