Central Alabama AFT

About this Affiliate

Central Alabama AFT was chartered as the Jefferson County AFT Local #2143 on January 7, 1971. For the past 50 years we have been fighting for the rights and working conditions of our members.

Central Alabama AFT is dedicated to ensuring that our members have what they need to be successful in the schools they work in. That's why we have partnered with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) to bring you a personalized page of resources on Share My Lesson.

Here you will find a collection of useful lessons plans, resources, and professional development trainings to assist you in a successful year! Be sure to also engage with other members in our discussions section to share your ideas and ask questions.

I have been a member of AFT my entire teaching career. A friend recommended I join my first year and I have not regretted my choice. My staff rep comes to my school regularly, she is easily accessible by phone or email and she always has the answer to my question.

I attended AFT's student debt clinic and learned so much. Taking what I learned I was able to reduce my monthly payment. I can finally see a path to moving out of my parents basement!
