The Iowa State Education Association works to promote, advance, and protect public education, the education profession, and the rights and interests of our members.
Our journey began more than a century ago. YOURS STARTS NOW.
We've spent decades working for students and educators—but, there's still more to do. Like our progress during the civil rights and women's rights movements, we need to dig in and speak up for the students and educators who are still facing inequality every day.
