Why Belong?
As a professional educator, you have many opportunities to join a professional association related to your content area. Those associations do not provide professional support for your career. The SCEA does.​ Listen to this testimony by educator and father John Ross!
Your Advocate. Your Partner. Your The SCEA.

Salary and Benefits. Simply put, educators deserve professional pay for professional work — and the members of The SCEA are the premiere advocates working to ensure you’re paid what you’re worth. This also means stopping legislative initiatives to freeze salary schedules.
 
Reach, teach and inspire. You're never on your own. Your membership gives you access to some of education's most sought after new and innovative programs you can use in your classroom. With resources that cover classroom management and support, to more in-depth professional development provided by your local, state, and national affiliates - you have a team supporting you.

Make your voice heard. As trusted professionals, educators are best equipped to make school and classroom decisions to ensure student success. It's our mission to ensure educators have a seat at the table when education policies are made. As members of the Association, educators have a powerful voice in creating the policies that affect our students, our schools, and our classrooms.
Grow your network. We're a community of experienced professionals. Through a variety of online and off-line tools, you enjoy access to valuable resources on classroom management, lesson planning and a host of other topics. Plus, you'll make connections with the educators at your school, in your state, and among our more than 3 million members.

Enjoy what matters most. Membership means less worrying for you and more action from us. With representation at the Statehouse, liability insurance and so much more, NEA provides advice and professional advocacy on the range of issues you face as an educator: salary, working conditions, evaluation support, contract compliance and enforcement and retirement.
