THE PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION IN EDUCATION

 

Consistent with its commitment to cultivating great educators for tomorrow, PDK International is the umbrella organization for two other education associations: Pi Lambda Theta and the Future Educators Association® . Together, these three associations form the PDK International family of associations, which supports the full spectrum of future and current educators.

Pi Lambda Theta

Pi Lambda Theta is the most selective national honor society of educators. For 100 years, PLT has advocated for accomplished teaching and standards-based professional learning.

Membership in PLT is limited to students and professionals who satisfy academic eligibility requirements. Membership is a distinctive and well-recognized honor allowing those who join to set themselves apart from the crowd. Additionally, PLT provides members with unequaled professional learning opportunities and resources that will help them to start or advance in their education careers.

Educational Horizons is the official magazine of Pi Lambda Theta. Its focus is on serving the professional needs of teacher candidates, graduate students in education, and new teachers.

Future Educators Association

The Future Educators Association® (FEA) is a federally recognized Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) that helps thousands of high school students around the world explore education-related careers. With support from PDK at the local and international levels, FEA helps students develop the skills and strong leadership traits that are found in high-quality educators. Additionally, FEA members have access to scholarship opportunities available through the PDK Educational Foundation.

Go Teach is the official magazine of the Future Educators Association. It aims to elevate the image of the teaching profession by exploring new ways to teach and learn in the 21st century. Go Teach helps to ensure that future educators begin their careers with the skills and experiences they need to change lives.
