Salary Workshops

Due to Covid concerns, we will not be holding in-person Salary Workshops. However, we invite you to register here if you would like a free financial analysis of your district. Please include a valid email address and we will send you your materials when they are available.
The earliest we will be able to complete your district analysis is the end of January or the beginning of February after the Governor releases the state budget.

We will complete district financial analysis on a first-come, first-serve basis, so it is important to register early.

Enriching Educators

MSTA offers a variety of opportunities for MIssouri educators to grow in their profession.

I believe every Missouri teacher should be a part of MSTA. it gives us a voice in government, legal help when needed, and a sense of larger community.
