To be a MTI member is to be a leader in providing equitable education for all. There is strength in numbers, and our students are counting on us.
Membership Benefits
A voice for our students and our public education
When you join your colleagues as an MTI member, you are making a decision to join together in solidarity on important issues that impact your profession, our schools, and our students. Our working conditions are your student’s learning environments.
A voice for your profession
When you join your colleagues as an MTI member, you also join the only organization that advocates for the pay, benefits, and working conditions that your profession deserves.
An investment in your financial well-being
The financial benefits you receive via the advocacy of MTI in base wage bargaining, in the Employee Handbook process, and in the political arena far exceeds the cost you pay in Union dues.
Professional Development
Your Union offers racial justice professional development opportunities along with National Board Certification. NBCT is considered the highest level of certification an educator can achieve. It is commonly referred to as the gold standard of teacher certification.
Representation and legal backing
MTI members receive support from highly qualified MTI staff representatives, elected leaders, and, when necessary, paid legal counsel for advice and enforcement of issues covered by the MMSD Employee Handbook, as well as various employment rights.
Professional support
When you join your colleagues as an MTI member, you receive professional support and assistance from highly trained MTI staff members on issues related to license renewal, assignment, Educator Effectiveness, school safety, maternity/paternity leave, disability benefits, retirement planning and many other issues.
