NEA Aspiring Educator Membership
NEA Aspiring Educator Membership
There are many benefits of being a part of the NEA Student Program, some more tangible than others, but all are true assets to your professional development.
Leadership training
Although it differs from state to state, many states will conduct leadership training for its student leaders. This training would include such things as communication skills, time management, group management skills, organizing ideas, newsletter publication, and many other things. Check with your state student organizer or consultant to find out how to get in on the action!
Professional workshops
Within your state, there are many people who are trained to do workshops. From stress management to interviewing skills and everything in between, one will find highly energetic, informed, and concerned individuals who would be happy to do a workshop on your campus. Call your state Education Association Policy and Professional Practice division, your UniServ director, or your state student organizer to find out what workshops are available.
Publications
The NEA Today, Tomorrow's Teachers, plus your state newsletter will all be available to you and your members. You may also want to consider starting your own local newsletter! People like to see their names in print!
Legal Services
Of course, the NEA provides $1 million in professional liability coverage and offers other legal services as well (such as will writing, consulting, etc.). You can find out more about the legal programs by requesting brochures from your state headquarters. (See Appendix F. p.36)
Technical Support and Assistance
If you've got a great idea but need some help to pull it off--maybe a great membership drive or local workshop--you've got a lot of resources available. First, work with the teacher local in your area. They are always glad to help out. Contact the regional UniServ director. They work on special projects all the time. Call your state president and ask for support. Open up and maintain communications with your state student organizer. Remember, if you don't ask, you never know what they might say!
Organizing Projects
Each year, NEA works with targeted states or institutions in organizing projects. Whether it is a rebate or specific action plan, resources are, in most cases, available to help you organize. (Please refer to the section of this book called "NEA-SP Activities" for specific activities.) States are always looking for new members. The Student Program truly is an investment in the future. Call the state headquarters to talk to your state student organizer to help in membership recruitment and program planning.
Materials
Fliers, calendars, handbooks, bookmarks, notebooks--so many things are available for member use. If you need materials, or a listing of what sort of things are available in your state, check with your state headquarters!
NEA Student Representation Leadership Positions
NEA Student Representation Leadership Positions
Student members are able to hold leadership positions and make long lasting, effective change within the teaching profession at the national level of NEA:
an Advisory Committee of Student members composed of ten members appointed by the NEA president. This Advisory Committee makes recommendations to the NEA Board of Directors, deals with changes affecting the Student Program, and monitors the program's services and delivery system.
nationally elected Student Chairperson working full time out of the NEA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. coordinates the activities of the Advisory Committee and works with members to provide NEA visibility on campuses and organize the future NEA active members.
three students elected to the NEA Board of Directors, one of the governing bodies of the NEA. This board created the Student Program and presently deals with modifications of the program. The board is an all-inclusive decision-making body that deals with educational and Association issues.
three students elected to the NEA Resolutions Committee. The Resolutions Committee is the body which develops position guidelines to direct NEA policy. From childcare to world peace, one will find a resolution stating NEA's position.
membership on seven NEA standing committees and the Women's Caucus. These standing committees deal with special areas of vital concern to the NEA membership. The Committee on Professional Standards and Practice, Legislative, Women's Concerns, and Human and Civil Rights Committees are just some of the standing committees which deal with areas of specific concern and make recommendations to the NEA Board. These positions are also filled by presidential appointments.
elected delegates to the NEA Representative Assembly. The NEA Representative Assembly is the largest democratic body in the world. It has the greatest power and can direct the NEA's resources in several areas, elect national officers and change the Association's constitution, resolutions, policies, and legislative agenda.
All of these positions are elected or appointed annually. You may wish to consider one of these positions yourself! Contact your state student organizer or your state student Chairperson/President for more information.
Applications are typically made available during August–September.
