UNITED TEACHERS
EDUCATIONAL FUND
United Teachers Educational Foundation joins the worthy agencies that benefit from LAUSD employee contributions.
“Let us never forget that giving is the ultimate measure of a society’s worth.”
.....A.J. Duffy, President, UTLA
Once a year, the Sharing Brings Hope campaign reaches out to teachers, students, and others to give to the twelve Charitable Agencies who participate and the over 700 individual charities they distribute funds to.
“All of these charities do great work in their respective areas,” says UTLA Secretary Ana Valencia, who is serving as co-chair for this year’s campaign. “Signing up to give is a way to help these agencies continue to carry out their missions.”
UTLA’s United Teacher Educational Foundation is one of the Charitable Agencies to which LAUSD employees and students can make tax-deductible donations.
The mission of the UTEF is to improve teaching. UTEF provides funding and support for several unique programs housed at UTLA, which are sponsored by UTLA independently or in partnership with LAUSD.
• Peer Assistance and Review, which represents teachers, through their union, taking responsibility for the quality of the services their member provide.
• The Institute for Standards, Curricula, and Assessment, which brings the rigorous practice of lesson study to schools.
• The Collective Bargaining Institute, which is recognized by the AFL-CIO as the premier labor-in-the-schools program in the nation.
• The Helen Bernstein Professional Development Center, which offers classes that teachers themselves ask for and really need.
• The Support Network, the most successful program of any district in the nation for preparing teachers to become National Board certified teachers.
“We’re excited by the opportunity to join the Consolidated Campaign to raise funds for the UTEF,” says former UTLA president and UTEF supporter Day Higuchi. “The UTEF stands for teacher education and professional development in a way that really supports what teachers do.”
