Description
As part of the Tulsa Classroom Teachers Association (TCTA), Kate Baker worked as one of the organizers for the 110 mile walk from Tulsa to the Capitol. She went to school for education but decided that it was not the right thing for her so she entered restaurant management for a period. Eventually, she became alternatively certified via the paraprofessional route and taught for 7 years. She is currently the Oklahoma Education Association Advocate for TCTA. She is proud to be part of the union and continuing to work for fully funded public education in Oklahoma.
