CLICK HERE to volunteer for this one activity. We have an entire plan and kit prepared for you and your AEA Committee courtesy of the NEA.TEAM LCEA: Be a Player for Your Local
This is one of many ways that we could use your help to make our local shine.
There's lots of things that you can do for your local professional Association, the profession at-large-- that don't require you to sign away huge chunks of your already busy professional and personal lives.
Whether you help plan the public celebration of our profession with American Education Week, lobby our legislators, assist us in the NEA's Read Across America, serve on our
LC Scholarship Committee, our Social Committee or more. Please check SOME of the many opportunities below.
AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK COMMITTEE:
Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility
NEA's 86th annual American Education Week (AEW) spotlights the importance of providing every child in America with a quality public education, and the need for everyone to do his or her part in making public schools great.
Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility reflects the Association's calling upon America to provide students with quality public schools so that they can grow, prosper, and achieve in the 21st century.
With pre-made art, downloadable posters, themes built in for each day, you don't have to pour tons of work into the activity. It's a time to recognize all those who make great schools, truly great. Be it a custodian, a bus driver, our secretaries, a food service professional, a teacher, a friend of education. This could be a true celebration...and you have a budget!
