Keeping your ATA online account up to date

WORTH KNOWING
When was the last time you logged into your online ATA account? MyATA contains important information that is not available to the public. When you log in to your online ATA account, you can receive the following benefits:
 
1.   Bargaining updates
      We are currently engaged in central table bargaining with the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA). It is
       important that all members stay up to date on the process.
        You can also stay up to date on bargaining and other Association events by signing up for the Member Update emails.
 
2.   Ability to vote on provincial collective agreements
      Ratification of teachers’ provincial collective agreements (between the ATA and the TEBA) takes place exclusively online.
 
3.   Vote in ATA elections
       Provincial Executive Council (PEC), which conducts the business of the ATA, is made up of 20 members, 18 of whom are 
​       elected by teacher members. PEC elections occur every two years and take place exclusively online.
 
4.   Access the ATA library
      The ATA library offers books, periodicals, videos, databases and learning materials such as robots and other maker space
      items, and many educational games. Materials are available in English and French and can be mailed to you anywhere in
      the province or accessed online. Return postage is paid for by the ATA library. The library also does research for teachers
​      upon request and can send articles to teachers in two to three business days.
 
5.   Receive a no-cost ATA specialist council membership
       If you are an active member of the ATA, you can join one of 20 specialist councils of your choice at no cost.
 
6.   Print your own ATA member card
     You must show your ATA member card to attend events, receive discounts or be eligible for other offers from various
      retailers and service providers.
