2 Overview of the Collection Collection Title: Affiliated Teacher Collection Dates: Bulk Dates: Identification: URB/ATOLA Creator: Affiliated Teacher Collection Physical Description: 2.09 linear feet Language of Materials: English Repository: Urban Archives Abstract: The Affiliated Teacher Collection documents the teaching career of Harold Corbin, as well as political and social issues relevant to education in the greater Los Angeles Area, from 1944 through The organizations represented in this collection include: the Association of Classroom Teachers, Los Angeles, the American Federation of Teachers, the Affiliated Teachers of Los Angeles, the California Teachers Association, the Los Angeles Teachers Association, the Los Angeles Unified School District, the National Education Association, North Hollywood High School, the Professional Educators of Los Angeles, the Secondary Teachers Organization of Los Angeles, and United Teachers Los Angeles. Historical Note: Harold Corbin began his teaching career as a Physics, Chemistry, and Math teacher at North Hollywood High School in Corbin earned permanent status with the Los Angeles Unified School District in Numerous teacher organizations existed in Los Angeles in the 1930s. Over time, these disparate groups joined together to form a federation called the Affiliated Teacher (ATOLA). Corbin joined ATOLA during the academic year. He was Vice-President of the organization for three years and served as a delegate to many conventions. He was also a member of the Merger Committee, responsible for writing the proposal to combine the LATA and ATOLA. The Associated Classroom Teachers of Los Angeles (ACTLA) was a by-product of these initial merger attempts. In 1970, ACTLA and AFT Local 1021 merged, there being a National Education Association (NEA)/California Teachers Association (CTA) local and an AFT/California Federation of Teachers (CFT) local. Seventy-five percent of ATOLA s members were classroom teachers. Its policy-making and governing body was the Representative Council, consisting of one representative for each 100 members in a department. All certified personnel, regardless of position, were united as members of the teaching profession through this Council. ATOLA s Board of Directors, selected by the Representative Council, was responsible for the organization s administrative functions. The structure resembled that of the Los Angeles school system, where unity and diversity were (and continue to be) important attributes. ATOLA combined six affiliated associations under a federation-type organization. The Affiliation also maintained direct relations with fourteen or more autonomous organizations representing various professional levels and interests in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The primary mission of ATOLA was to advance and raise the standards for the general welfare of schools and teaching profession, as well as to promote cooperation and understanding between the teaching profession and the community.
