About KNEA

Our Mission

The Kansas National Education Association's mission is to empower its members to promote quality public schools, strengthen the teaching profession, and improve the well-being of members. Most important to KNEA members are the concerns of teachers and the needs of students.

• Developing and implementing a plan to support an increase in teachers' salaries, provide adequate and affordable health insurance and improve the level of funding for Kansas public schools.
• Implementing a program to assist schools that are planning, organizing and/or implementing school improvement efforts.
• Investigating and implementing a support system for local associations that are developing new or strengthening existing induction programs and peer assistance programs.
• Providing training on professional development standards, on developing and/or strengthening quality professional development, and on KNEA's role in quality professional development programs.
• Outlining comprehensive training programs to promote quality public schools and strengthen the teaching profession.
