Wyoming Education Association (WEA) members work in Wyoming’s schools, colleges, and the university to help improve public education and the lives of Wyoming’s students. WEA members–more than 6,300 strong–provide a wide range of professional education services in communities throughout the state.
Our members teach in kindergarten classrooms, high school labs and university halls. We counsel adolescents and help students carve out career aspirations. We coach athletes and transport students to and from the schools and extra-curricular events. We provide professional services to benefit students, schools and the public in virtually every position needed to run Wyoming’s schools.
WEA members are dedicated to children and public education. Since 1892, the WEA has been working to make schools better and improve public education. Our association is dedicated to working in partnership with parents, community leaders and elected officials to help Wyoming’s students and improve public education.
The purpose of the Wyoming EA is to promote the cause of public education and improve the quality of teaching and learning. Through our more than 100-year history, WEA members have been involved in every struggle and effort to advance the finest of America’s dreams: universal, free, equitable and high-quality public education for every child.
Joining WEA is good for you personally and professionally … and it’s good for students.
As your professional organization, we are like a family, a union of professionals who agree that students and education are important — and that the people who are working in schools are important, too.
