Come join us for professional development and community outreach. Every year we have two Scholastic Book Fairs that help fund our Read Across America event on Dr. Seuss's birthday. There are several opportunities to go to conferences in the state and across the nation. Together we will have many opportunities to network with teachers from across the state and student teachers from across the nation. Our members get discounts on hundreds of restaurants from across the nation with travel, shopping and insurance discounts. The SNEA can protect you for any liability issues that come from any student teaching, service learning or organization events.
