ADVOCATING FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS

As many of us prepare to gather with friends and family tomorrow to celebrate a day of giving thanks, we at CEA want to take a moment to thank you for all that you do for your students, colleagues, and community.

In the second episode of CEA’s new podcast, Two T’s in a Pod, CEA President Kate Dias and Joslyn DeLancey focus on the threatening and harassing behavior some Connecticut public school teachers have faced in recent months.

CEA has launched a new podcast, Two T’s in a Pod, hosted by CEA President Kate Dias and Vice President Joslyn DeLancey. The podcast aims to bring thought-provoking interviews, as well as actionable tips and strategies to CEA members.

CEA is looking for new presenters and topics to expand the sessions available to members attending the Early Career Educators Conference this March.

American Education Week, celebrated November 15-19, 2021, presents everyone with an opportunity to celebrate public education and honor the individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every student receives a quality education.

During November, we celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Native Peoples. Check out the lessons and resources NEA has compiled on learning about the tribes indigenous to North America and Thanksgiving from a Native American perspective.

Five CEA members have been selected as recipients of California Casualty’s Music and Arts Grant program—a program that ensures as many students as possible have a chance to take part in innovative art and music projects at their schools.

Connecticut continues to grow its number of teachers of color thanks to the Teacher Residency Program. A unique program that began at CREC with CEA support, it helps noncertified school staff with bachelors degrees earn teaching certification.

One of the best things you can do for yourself as an early-career educator is make time to socialize with other new teachers. Join other CEA members for free food, networking, and a chance to bounce ideas, tips, and questions off your colleagues.
