Add the "Day of the Teacher" 2008 e-card to your website:
“Day of the Teacher” will be observed on Wednesday, May 14.
This year’s “Day of the Teacher” theme is “California Teachers: Making a Difference Every Day.” This theme was selected to emphasize that California teachers make daily differences in their classrooms.
In the face of $4.8 billion in proposed budget cuts to education this year, CTA is calling for a Statewide Day of Action for public schools on May 14, the California Day of the Teacher. We are asking that our members coordinate local activities that day that will bring home our message to local legislators. We must persuade our local lawmakers that they must do the right thing for public education and the future of this state. Visit the State Budget Crisis section to download resources for your local event.
“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.
