Welcome to FEA!

Did you know that teaching is one of the top three most prestigious occupations, according to a 2007 Harris poll of U.S. adults?

Our message must be clear: Teaching is a promising career option. Particularly needed in the future will be teachers from diverse backgrounds who will be sensitive to the diversity in our classrooms. As the only international precollegiate extracurricular program for prospective teachers, FEA has the mission to provide students with opportunities to explore careers in education. We hope that through participation in an FEA chapter students will gain a realistic understanding of the nature of education and the role of the teacher.

The international FEA office at PDK International in Bloomington, Indiana, manages the network of nearly 1,000 FEA chapters, offers support to FEA advisors through trainings and publications, coordinates a network of state FEA contacts, plans the annual national conference, and fields questions from advisors and anyone interested in learning more about FEA.

Please contact us at fea@pdkintl.org with thoughts, suggestions, or highlights of your chapter’s activities. We are your resource for beginning, building, and maintaining your Future Educators Association^SM.
