MSTA activities are non-partisan and focused on legislation and regulations that impact educators and education in Missouri. MSTA's efforts begin with active teachers crafting education policy resolutions that set the direction and priority of MSTA's activities. MSTA staff and volunteers meet frequently with representatives of the executive branch, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, legislative leaders in the Missouri House and Senate and other stakeholders; testify for and against legislative proposals; participate on taskforces; serve on committees, such as the Missouri Advisory Council of Certification for Educators; and prepare policy proposals that further the common interests of Missouri educators. Conferences & Events: MSTA provided a number conferences and events for prospective teachers, beginning teachers, and experienced teachers that promoted the interests of the teaching profession and provided practical input and resources designed to improve the skills of individual teachers.

This two-day event features more than 25 separate workshops addressing a range of instructional topics; a keynote address by a well-known education speaker; an exhibit hall with more than 35 vendors of instructional and education interest; and, general discussion of education policy issues at the annual membership meeting.
