Who We Are

The North Dakota Education Association, established in 1887, has given North Dakota education more than a century of service. Nothing can take the place of the satisfaction teachers get when the light finally goes on in a student's eyes. It's why we become teachers. Our mission is simple...

  • It's improving the political climate and economic conditions for public education
  • It's promoting educational excellence, innovation, and equal opportunity
  • It's being a leader in school reform
  • It's improving the status of teaching professionals and other education employees
  • It's working toward the elimination of all forms of discrimination

Everything we do, from lobbying for increased school resources to reaching out to build coalitions and community support for our schools, is designed to make public education the best it can be for the kids we teach. Together, we work to make sure North Dakota's schools remain vital and strong and our students get nothing short of the best education possible.
