Leadership Trainings

Leadership Trainings
NEA’s Human & Civil Rights Department works to prepare educators to lead confidently and consciously by focusing on a student-centered agenda and social justice issues that impact their students, schools and communities.
Our Minority and Women's Leadership Training Programs help meet the needs of new leaders just beginning to participate in the Association, and experienced leaders serving in the highest local, state, and national positions.

Minority Leadership - Phase 1

Recognizing that NEA’s ability to influence public education is in direct proportion to an engaged membership, the Minority Leadership Training Program prepares ethnic-minority members to be strong leaders, activists, and full participants in Association life.

Minority Leadership - Phase 2

Recognizing that NEA’s ability to influence public education is in direct proportion to an engaged membership, the Minority Leadership Training Program prepares ethnic-minority members to be strong leaders, activists, and full participants in Association life.

Women's Leadership Training Program

Launched in the 1970s, the Women’s Leadership Training Program continues a century-long NEA legacy of advocacy and leadership for women. Thousands of Association members have reaped the benefits of this successful program, designed to meet the needs of new leaders just beginning to participate in the Association, and experienced leaders serving in the highest local, state, and national positions.
