The Alberta Teachers’ Association

The first issue of the ATA News was published in February 1967. Featured here is an excerpt from the inaugural editorial by Tom McConaghy, ATA News editor.

This is the first issue in our new look for ATA publications. The purpose of this publication is to bring to our members a news medium noted for its brevity and readability. …

If this tabloid is to be a success then we must have your cooperation. Since we plan to highlight activities of teachers, Association news, and educational news in general, we will need a great deal of copy and photographs (black and white glossies or negatives). If you are doing something in the classroom that would be of interest to other teachers, tell us about it.

Please send us your reactions (good or bad) to this first issue. We will then be in a better position to plan the next two issues which will be published before the end of June.
