English teacher Adam Wies has helped numerous students develop their writing skills and improve their reading comprehension. Residing and working in the San Francisco Bay Area, Adam Wies maintains membership in the California Teachers Association.
The preeminent advocate for California's educators, the California Teachers Association (CTA) has approximately 325,000 members who teach in public schools and colleges throughout the state. As California's largest employee organization, the CTA works to ensure it has a positive impact on education on a national scale.
Part of the CTA's efforts to promote education include posting research and articles on pertinent education topics. With a number of negative portrayals of teachers in the media over the last several years, the association wants to ensure the public understands the facts.
Topics discussed on the CTA’s website, www.cta.org, include teacher effectiveness, how student test scores affect teacher evaluations, and the advantages and disadvantages of charter schools. One article, titled “Right to Due Process,” seeks to clear up misunderstandings regarding the topic of tenure, while another cites research from the National Education Policy Center showing several documentaries critical of public education have made false claims.
