Program Overview
NEA’s Aspiring Educators Program supports, develops, and empowers diverse, pre-service teachers with the resources, networks, and opportunities to lead in their schools, communities, and in all phases of their career. This is accomplished through an embodiment of its four core values in all program activities:
Aspiring Educators become activists at all levels of the organization—local, state, and national—so that all their students can maximize their potential.
