Rethinking Education for a Transformative Future is the theme of the MTA Summer Conference, which will be held from Sunday, July 28 to Wednesday, July 31 at UMass Amherst. You spoke, and we listened, so you can expect a conference that not only feels different but is different. We are offering an experience that is grounded in connection, reflection, and building solidarity.

With over 60 workshops covering union skills, professional development, and anti-oppression, our schedule offers a diverse range of opportunities. Enjoy wellness activities like pickleball and nature walks, as well as a screening of the thought-provoking film The Busing Battleground followed by an engaging Q&A session. Connect with affinity groups, participate in book club discussions, and immerse yourself in social activities including board games and dancing. Don't miss out on hearing from members who have transformed their communities through bargaining and budget crises. This is the year to be part of something truly impactful!
