Why JAE?
Professional Development
Through collaboration with our state affiliate, we are proud to offer our members the opportunity to continue their education throughout their entire careers. Our Professional Development Committee identifies each year’s professional development priorities to provide a full slate of continuing education workshops.
Protection
Jackson Association of Education knows that being an educator is a noble profession, and one that carries with it a certain amount of legal risk. No one is immune, and that’s why, through our state affiliate, we provide a comprehensive legal safety net for our members.
Power
Being a Jackson Association of Educators member means that your voice will join thousands of others rallying in support of public education. We have assisted our state affiliate in helping schools avoid state takeover and kept control of public schools in the hands of the communities that support and attend them. The Jackson Association of Educators has also assisted in achieving some great legislative victories. And although we are proud of these accomplishments, we know that the fight for Mississippi educators is not over, and that is why we need you.
