MTA Today: Educating Amid the Pandemic
MTA Today: Educating Amid the Pandemic
The Fall edition of MTA Today features stories about the resumption of teaching and learning, which has been anything but routine this year. MTA higher education members have continued their months-long fight to protect funding for programs, ensure health and safety for students and staff, and organize against layoffs and furloughs. Meanwhile, MTA members in preK-12 schools across the state have been coping with the many challenges of educating students amid a pandemic. In this issue you’ll also find the third in a series of stories celebrating the MTA’s 175th anniversary, an article featuring Education Support Professionals sharing their stories in the campaign for a PreK-12 ESP Bill of Rights, and coverage of MTA Retired members who are persisting in their activism despite the coronavirus crisis. The 2020 MTA Election Guide, which recommends candidates in contested races in the general election, is also included.
