What does it mean to be an educator?
Teachers, custodians, secretaries, bus drivers, administrators, aides, maintainance workers, and counselors — UTCE believes that all of these employee groups are instrumental in developing the academic, social, and human potential of students. Leaders of UTCE are working to break down the traditional barriers that exist between employee groups.
Classified employees are invaluable to the educative process and the development of our children. Their contributions should not be marginalized, but respected and appreciated as a critical component of the overall goal in education.
UTCE is bringing the concerns of classified professionals to the forefront of important discussions. UTCE represents the interests of our classified members with the same level of enthusiasm and commitment as we do with our certified members. UTCE benefits are enjoyed equally by all members. Welcome classified educators!
