The Education Department strongly recommends that licensure candidates join EMAE; students who are education studies concentrators (not seeking licensure) are welcome to join as well. This professional organization provides liability insurance as well as professional resources for students planning to be teachers. This is an annual fee, to be renewed each academic year. Dues are $30 ($15 for NEA, $10 for Education Minnesota, and $5 for the local St. Olaf College chapter).
To join EMAE, apply online using a credit card at www.educationminnesota.org and click on the benefits link at the top. Then click on Join Us and you will see Aspiring Educator Membership.
Please print off the confirmation page after completing the registration. Save that document to be used in your first year of teaching. If your first job is in a school district where the local union is affiliated with NEA, you are eligible for a $20 per year refund up to $80 for each year you were a student member!
