TSTA Mission and Vision Statement

MISSION STATEMENT 

The Texas State Teachers Association will unite, organize and empower public education advocates to shape public education in Texas thus providing a quality public school for every child.

VISION STATEMENT 

In order to shape public education in Texas, the Texas State Teachers Association (TSTA) will:

Be receptive and responsive to the diverse needs of the membership, embracing differences; 

Be results-oriented, achieving outcomes that have a clear impact on members; 

Focus on systemic change, rather than on individual change; and 

Generate sufficient resources to expand association programs and services to meet all organizational needs. 

TSTA will maintain an internal culture that values: 

Open, honest and respectful communication; 

Organizational and individual change based on data, assessment and evaluation; and 

Shared accountability, collaboration and teamwork among all stakeholders – members, leaders, management and staff. 

Further, TSTA must 

Focus its resources on organizing; and 

Recruit and visibly organize within locals that show potential and commitment.
