Day of the Teacher for 2009 was observed on Wed., May 13.
The 2009 “Day of the Teacher” theme was “California Teachers: Standing Up for a Better Tomorrow.” This theme was selected to emphasize the need to stand up for schools, teachers and students in the face of severe budget cuts. More than 27,000 educators have received layoff notices so far this year. The problem will only get worse if funds are cut further. That's why on this Day of the Teacher please Stand Up for a Better Tomorrow!
“Day of the Teacher” arose out of legislation co-sponsored by CTA and the Association of Mexican American Educators. Sen. Joseph Montoya (D-El Monte) wrote the bill and it was adopted in 1982 as Senate Bill 1546. California has patterned its celebration after the traditional “El Dia del Maestro” festivities observed in Mexico and other Latin American countries.
