Welcome to the Anchorage Education Association
Jump Start Toward National Board Certification 2012
Date: May 29 - June 1, 2012 NEA-ALASKA Jump Start is a 4-day session that provides support for educators planning to pursue National Board Certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). National Board Certification (NBC) is a rigorous process during which educators create a portfolio that includes student work samples, videotaped lessons and a detailed analysis of their classroom teaching or practice. NBC candidates are also assessed on their knowledge of the subjects they teach. Jump Start is designed to familiarize participants with NBC and better prepare them for the certification process. This workshop is open to NEA-Alaska members. Registration is open from April 13 through April 30.

NCUEA Fall Conference Purpose: The Anchorage Education Association (AEA) is an organization of more than 3,500 teachers and other professional educators dedicated to providing an excellent public education for every child in the Anchorage School District.
Membership: The membership of the Anchorage Education Association is extraordinarily diverse. We have pre-K-12 regular and special education classroom teachers; pre-school special education teachers; school nurses; librarians; counselors; psychologists; physical, occupational and speech therapists; vocational education teachers; and teacher experts. Our 3,500 members are also part of our state affiliate, NEA-Alaska (the largest employee organization in Alaska) and the National Education Association (the largest employee organization in the country.)
School sites: AEA members work in every school and program in our district. The Anchorage School District is the 87th largest school district in the country. It is comprised of 104 schools and special program sites: 60 elementary schools, 10 middle schools, 8 high schools, 6 charter schools, and 20 other sites.
Structure: The Anchorage Education Association has a structure comprised of governance bodies and committees. Among the committees are the Employee Rights Committee, the Evaluation Committee, the Communications Committee, and the Political Action Committee for Education. A full time release president is the public spokesperson for the association.
Governance: The Anchorage Education Association is governed by our membership. It is a representative, grass roots democratic organization in which all policy, budgetary and goal decisions are member-driven. The key governance bodies are the Representative Council, made up of representatives from every school and program in the district, and the Board of Directors, composed of 18 directors and officers.
Programs: The Anchorage Education Association serves the almost 50,000 students and families as a leader in promoting high standards of excellence in education for every child. Working independently or in conjunction with our state and national affiliates, AEA utilizes our resources to support our membership.
Major programs include: year-round advocacy for public education; community organizing for greater resources for education; professional advice, training, organizing and other assistance in issues of education excellence, including the federal "No Child Left Behind" law; professional and member lobbying and political action; contract bargaining and member advocacy for employee rights; comprehensive communications, public relations and image advertising; member benefits/services such as professional liability insurance, attorney referrals, and access to non-profit health insurance trust.
