Because together, we can strengthen the education profession and the quality of education for every student in North Carolina's public schools.

Making a difference
We make life better for members and students when we fight for a strong public education system. We fight to:
- Have a voice at the table to advocate for improved working and student learning conditions, including winning increased pay and benefits
- Gain professional development and leadership training
- Join forces to make a difference in the social justice issues that matter most to you and that affect your students’ lives
- Enhance educator rights and offering guidance, advice, and, if necessary, legal representation
