PreK-12 Public Education

When you become a member of the AFT, you help protect our kids and communities. And we help you by offering educator-designed programs and resources that will enhance your professional growth and ensure children thrive. This brochure highlights many of these opportunities. 

These resources from the AFT offer research-based tools and frameworks to shift from punitive and often unnecessary mandatory reporting toward caring, proactive “mandated support” for students and families. You’ll find briefs, an action guide, data and webinars designed to help educators build healing relationships, wrap around families with services and intervene early to support student wellness and resilience.

Teaching students to read is one of the most important things we do as educators. Reading Universe can help. You'll find ready-to-use teaching strategies, in-classroom videos, interviews with teachers and reading experts, and quick, concrete answers to common questions about teaching reading and writing. And it's all free!
