PRIDE IN UNITY
CTA's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Issues Advisory Committee (GLBTIAC) in pride presents the first ever CTA conference addressing issues involving GLBT teachers, students and community. This conference is open to all CTA members and will serve as a venue to discuss and dialogue about a variety of subjects affecting the entire membership and California's youth. Participants will have a variety of workshops to choose from, organized into 3 strands addressing the needs of the Membership, the Students and the Community. The conference will end with a "housemeeting" to solicit the participants' ideas and advice specifically on lessons learned from Prop 8.
