Partnerships

Our partners are diverse in history, location, and expertise, but united in our goals: ensuring student success, promoting professional excellence, and creating educational opportunity and equity for all. 

With our partners — and in particular, our affiliates — we have more voices advancing our leadership and justice priorities at the local, state, and national level. See how we find the right partners and who we’re working with today.

Evaluating Potential Partners

We use the following guidelines to help assess potential partner organizations:

• Concurrence with NEA’s Resolutions, Legislative Program and Policy Statements
• Membership in any NEA-affiliated network or coalition
• Public education ally
• Education advocacy history
• Fiscal health of the organization
• Whether there is a pattern or practice of discrimination against groups of employees or consumers or any other employee relations disputes.
• Whether the corporation/organization has shown support for privatization of public education, public employee benefits, or other services related to public education or public services generally.
• Whether the corporation/organization has engaged in anti-union activity.
