Student PSEA attends December 2022 House of Delegates

Student PSEA members proposed a new business item at the December 2022 House of Delegates to study how to pay student teachers. Delegates approved the new business item, making it a priority for PSEA.

NBI #6: PSEA will investigate the creation of an Aspiring Educator Student Teaching Stipend for those enrolled in a university educator preparation program. PSEA will collaborate with colleges and universities, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and state government officials to help procure funding for this initiative.
