Kentucky Education Association Student Program

Welcome to the KEA-SP
This page is designed for our members to keep updated on upcoming events and projects. It also provides details about who we are as an organization and what we provide. The KEA-SP program exists in order to help pre-service teachers to become the best educators that they can be.

About Us
The KEA Student Program is a professional association for college students preparing to enter the teaching profession. Through its affiliation with the KEA and the NEA, KEA-SP provides college students assistance, benefits, professional resources, and the opportunity to learn—not only from each other but from a network of campus advisors and from practicing professional educators. KEA-SP is one of the largest student organizations in the country. The association currently has over 32 local chapters on Kentucky college and university campuses.

The dues are $29 and that is for August to August membership. Dues include many opportunities that will help you become a successful teacher.

We are based on three pillars: teacher preparation, community service, and political action. Here at CU we try to help you become the best teacher you can be, in order to get the best job out there. As a leadership team we want to fully meet your needs as a student, so if there is ever anything we can do please let us know.
