About NSEA - Aspiring Educators

 

Of all the issues facing education, none may be more important than that of recruiting young people into the profession.

Through the NSEA - Aspiring Educators, the NSEA provides professional resources and support to teachers in training. That added preparation helps young teachers get off to a successful career start, and provides NSEA with a core group of future Association leaders.

NSEA - Aspiring Educators chapters are located on Nebraska college and university campuses, with a combined statewide membership of more than 1,500 and growing.

Dues for membership in NSEA - Aspiring Educators/NSEA/NEA are $30 annually. Membership provides student with important liability insurance coverage while student teaching, as well as many of the same benefits as active teachers/members.

A portion of the dues are refunded to NSEA - Aspiring Educators members with their first year of membership in the NSEA when they begin their professional career.

NSEA - Aspiring Educators sends delegates to the NEA Representative Assembly as well as to NSEA's Delegate Assembly. The NSEA - Aspiring Educators president serves as a voting member of the NSEA Board of Directors.

Kim Story and Andy Isaacson, NSEA Organizational Specialists, are the staff consultants to NSEA - Aspiring Educators, with Noah Snurr serving as associate staff assigned to NSEA - Aspiring Educators.

For more information or if you have questions about NSEA - Aspiring Educators, contact Kim Story, Andy Isaacson or Noah Snurr.
