Art Educators of Nevada

Call for 2011 NAEA Award Nominations

Reasons to Join the NAEA/AEN

What does it take to be a successful educator in the 21st century? The new model is not the lone teacher at work in the classroom. It’s the educator who engages with the community and the world at large. Today, educators are the reflections and creators of our culture. To achieve success, they need to understand and appreciate the challenges and opportunities open to them. They must be able to collaborate and communicate with one another and with many audiences. They need the confidence to lead, to innovate. NAEA/AEN offers opportunities to grow professionally as an educator in the 21st century.

Join today to strengthen your skills, enrich your resources and to gain support for you, your students, and the community you serve.
