New Teachers - Your New Profession - Supporting Career & Technical Educators

Supporting Career & Technical Educators

TEA has long been the advocate for Tennessee’s teachers and a working partner making things better in every school. We fight to keep health insurance affordable — and to make it better. We’ve tackled retirement issues and the need for professional days in your local contract. And we lead the demands for better funding for public schools. TEA just makes sense for teachers who care about their jobs and their families. Join this winning team today.

 

Tammy Zarecor, Gibson County Education Association member and family & consumer science teacher, says, “I believe in the power of a collective voice and encourage my fellow teachers to join the association.” 

Whether in the classroom, the lab, or the shop, Tennessee’s career and technical teachers face special challenges making their TEA membership especially important to both them and their students.

Working conditions for teachers are the learning environments for students. It is important that we have small class size, modern facilities, and adequate supplies and equipment in order to provide a quality education for every student.
