Educators who went through the process of getting a teaching license in another state shouldn’t have to start over because they’ve moved, said Dena R.

"We know from national data that there’s a lot of kids struggling in school right now. The vast majority of those kids are not identified for special ed. ... How are we making determinations about who gets help and how should they get help?"

Today is Substitute Educators Day during American Education Week! 🍎✏️ #TheSCEA would like for us all to thank substitute educators who play a vital role in maintaining continuity and stability in our schools. 🙌 #SubstituteEducatorsDay #AmericanEducationWeek #AEW2025 #ThankYouSubstitutes

Shifting vital education programs across federal agencies weakens civil rights protections, undermines support for low-income and first-generation students, and threatens equal opportunity. Closing the Education Dept. would harm the very students it exists to serve.

Educators deserve balance. But a new @RAND.org report shows that most teachers struggle to find work-life balance, and too few school districts are taking steps to help. Smaller class sizes, more planning time, and supportive leadership make all the difference.

#TheSCEA was honored to participate in such a powerful space during the 2025 @neatoday.bsky.social HBCU Summit where our country's 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities were able to unite, strategize, build, and rise together. #NEAHBCUSummit #BlackEducators #HBCUPride #StillWeRise

Today, we pause to honor brave individuals for their service to protect and defend our country. We thank you for your strength, courage, and commitment to US. #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #Freedom #Gratitude #HonoringOurHeroes #USA

Cuts to federal programs like SNAP and Medicaid reduce the number of children eligible for free school meals, which, in turn, threatens a school's ability to offer free meals to all students. See how your state is impacted. 👇🏾
