5 reasons to belong to SDEA!

1. You will make positive changes for your students
and transform your profession
As members, you have the right to participate in
the decision-making process of our local, state,
and national unions. Together we champion a
quality education for our students and better
working conditions for our members in schools
and worksites.

for innovation
At the local, state, and national level, there are
trainings to improve professional skills and
grants for school projects and innovative educational
ideas.
3. You will make your community and the world
a better place
We have a long history of social justice successes,
such as fighting for universal free public schools
for all students and for teacher protections against
arbitrary or unfair treatment.
4. You can save time and money with member
benefits
Some benefits are offered at no cost to you. In
addition there are voluntary benefits and programs
such as special life, disability, auto, and
home insurances. You will also find discounts

development, car and home purchases, and more.
And check out our local, state, and national websites
for financial and investment education for
members, including preparing for retirement.
5. You will have the confidence and peace of mind

You are the expert in your discipline. Work in
confidence and know that legal protection and
liability coverage safeguards you as you make
a difference (read more about our legal benefits
