Iโm proud to announce that NEA endorses @KamalaHarris for President. Kamala has delivered for students & educators. With the future of our students, public schools, and democracy on the ballot, we WILL elect a champion for students, public education, and working families.
Yesterday at an IEA-RA Open Hearing, the IEA Special Education Committee presented on all of our work this past year. As Chair of this committee Iโm so proud of the progress we continue to make.
Members of SEAโs and SEEOโs executive board and Dr. Erin Knoll participated in a Restorative Justice and Peace Circle training with IEAโs Hanifah Ross, Instructional Resource and Professional Development Director. #SEAourMembers
NEA honored Quinta Brunson with this yearโs Friend of Education Award because she has brought the everyday challenges and joys educators face to the forefront of the public.
Abbott Elementary is an authentic look at how educators canโand doโchange studentsโ lives.
Thank you, IEA President & SEA member Kathi Griffin, for your leadership to the members of the Illinois Education Association! #StrongerUnited#IEANEA#SEAourMembers

I was lucky enough to hear her speech multiple times over the past few days. This 14 y/o gave me chills every time she shared her story. Be a champion for students! It takes at least one caring adult to make a difference in a child/studentโs life.

๐๐พ Increased staffing.

As Helena Donato-Sapp said, we must invest in public education to attract quality staff and create the learning conditions all students deserve. #NEARA
Each summer, dedicated educators gather to set policy for NEA and advance the interests of public education.
In fact, #NEARA is the world's largest democratic deliberative assembly! It's powered by our members, approximately 6,000 educator delegates.
