The Voice of Tulsa Public Schools Teachers

We believe that a free and democratic society can only exist when secured to the foundation of public education. This foundation must be rooted in the fertile soil of education employees, parents, community leaders and elected officials working together to promote quality public schools. We are Oklahoma’s largest local organization of professional educators. Partnering with the state’s and nation’s largest associations of professional educators, TCTA has long been recognized as THE Voice of the Tulsa classroom teacher.

Together We Are Stronger!

Our story

Established in 1937 and gaining collective bargaining rights in 1967, Tulsa Classroom Teachers Association has been a part of the fabric of our community through generations of change. From historic walkouts in 1990 and 2018, state budget crises throughout the years, the 2020 global pandemic, and countless other historic moments, the little house on 31st Street has been a place of refuge, planning, and action to support Tulsa Public Schools teachers and students. As we look to the future of our district, city, and state, TCTA will stand for our teachers and the rights of workers everywhere to earn a thriving wage, work in a safe place, and to stand together for the collective good of our community.
