MEET YOUR COMMUNITY
The National Education Association is the largest labor union in the country and is dedicated to ensuring educators have a stronger voice. Becoming a member connects you with a community of educators supporting each other. Together we ensure we are heard, respected, and given the resources we need, so that we can give students our very best. This includes:
- Negotiating for increases in salaries
- Protecting educators' time
- Getting schools to hire more staff to reduce class sizes and avoid understaffing
- Winning student loan forgiveness and generous repayment plans for educators
- Improving the daily lives of educators so we are equipped to give students our best
Together We're Stronger. Together We're Heard.
Together we are the biggest and loudest advocates for our schools, our students, and ourselves. We band together to improve public school classrooms for ourselves and our students and to make ourselves heard in the halls of power.
Ensuring Student Success
Each and every student deserves a quality public education. NEA unites our members and the nation to ensure all students have the resources they need to fulfill their potential and their dreams. We know that growth is work. That’s why we’ve created a framework, guide, and grants to support collaboration and innovation–so students in every zip code, in every family, of every background, attend a great public school.
Protecting Your Rights and Workplace
Collective bargaining and advocacy ensure that we enhance student learning and improve educator working conditions–benefiting our students, schools, and the community as a whole. We believe in taking collective action to ensure the collective good. When we raise our voices, we help every educator get the support they need to join, stay, and thrive in our profession.
Supporting Professional Excellence
Great educators create great public schools. NEA provides the training, tools, and community support for educators to engage students, nurture justice, and excel in their profession. At every stage of your career, NEA helps you grow into your passion and be a leader for your students.
