Democracy demands and students deserve a safe, accessible, equitable, and excellent public education.

An effective education system requires highly-qualified, respected educators focused on student learning and engaged in continuous improvement.

We value teamwork through membership.

Belonging to the Association demonstrates care for the collective needs of students, educators, and the community.

We value advocacy for the education profession.

Educators are most effective in a teaching and learning environment that provides them professional compensation, quality benefits, and respects the rights and responsibilities of all.

We value strong public engagement.

Effective schools require strong community support gained through sharing information, building partnerships, promoting advocacy, and influencing policy makers.

We value a proactive organization.

A vibrant organization requires visionary leaders and active members who advance shared goals.
