An educator since 1992, CTA Vice President Leslie Littman taught AP U.S. history, economics and government at Hart High School in the William S. Hart Union School District in Santa Clarita. She previously served as CTA Secretary-Treasurer from 2019 to 2023 and on the CTA Board of Directors representing District I before that.

Littman comes from a family of public school educators – her mother, two aunts, two uncles and many cousins were all public school educators. Arriving at Hart Union School District in 1994, Littman advised the yearbook class for a decade, led the school’s accreditation review twice and served as a mentor teacher to new educators.

In this session, Leslie talks about the current issues educators face and how the power of unions can help with those struggles.
