Continually optimize backward manufactured products whereas communities negotiate life compelling alignments
1. A Voice at the Table: Joining AEA gives you a voice in decisions that affect your classroom and career.
2. Improved working & learning conditions: AEA empowers educators to advocate for smaller class sizes, less standardized testing, input into curriculum, and safe buildings, just to name a few.
3. Positive changes in your workplace: AEA works with you, your administration and community organizations to support you and to address issues in your school.
4. Commitment to social justice: AEA is working to dismantle systems of oppression that prevent children from accessing a great public education because of their race, gender, sexual orientation, culture, or nationality.
5. Liability insurance: Because the liability potential can be so serious for individuals employed by public schools and other educational units, NEA provides all AEA members with up to $1 million in professional liability insurance.
