NEA Today Magazines

With unprecedented challenges facing our students and public schools, NEA Today invites you to explore a special “Know Your Rights” section in this issue. From lesson plans to school safety to speaking up for students, this guide walks you through key rights that every educator has—and how to protect them. Plus, we’ll have some fun with using hip-hop as a teaching tool and getting sage advice from beloved TV soccer coach Ted Lasso.

In the first all-digital issue of NEA Today for NEA-Retired Members, you’ll find more content specifically for retired educators. You’ll hear NEA-Retired members’ stories of students who inspired them and showed them the true meaning bravery. You’ll find tips for managing your money in an uncertain economy and a step-by-step guide for how to push back against the Trump administration’s policies that harm students and public schools.

You can join Aspiring Educators working to improve mental health supports, financial assistance, and student rights. Many depend on Pell Grants to continue their education, yet these crucial funds face uncertainty. By getting involved, you can help strengthen the teacher pipeline and create a more inclusive, supportive system.

NEA publishes NEA Today, NEA Today for Aspiring Educators, and NEA Today for Retired Members, magazines focused on the issues and interests of K-12, aspiring, and retired educators. Browse our archives.
