Utah PTA Education Resolutions

An Overview

Advocacy

Sometimes it is necessary for us to speak out on behalf of children. If one of the areas of concern in your school community indicates a need for a change in policy, it may be necessary for you to speak out.

Education Programs

Programs for preschool, success in all grades, special needs students, character education, STEM education, library media centers, college and career education, counseling, assisting teachers and administrators, National PTA programs, and other education related programs.

Literacy Programs

One of the most important factors in academic achievement is the ability to read and learn from what is read. There may be other benefits of experiencing success in reading, such as improved self-esteem, positive self-concept, appropriate social skills, and overall social competence.
