KANAAE has a positive vision that allows me to teach and advise using traditional values with non-traditional students as they begin a new phase in their lives and education.

Sharon
Kansas College Director of Adult Education
I appreciate having $2,000,000 in liability insurance (double that of NEA) for less than one third the cost of union dues.

Thank you, KANAAE!

Aletha
Kansas School Principal
I'm impressed with the scholarships and mini-grants KANAAE gives to assist Kansas teachers each year.

Julie
Kansas Elementary Teacher
Educators can find level ground in KANAAE with its view that teachers can and should be seen as professionals.

Doug
Kansas DAR History Teacher of the Year
AAE and KANAAE represent that which is best in educators and that which is so needed... professionalism and a focus on children first.

Tracey Bailey
National Teacher of the Year
This is what I've been waiting for! KANAAE is a positive voice for all of us who still see teaching as one of the highest callings.

Liability INSURANCE

Each professional member of KANAAE receives their own certificate for the $2,000,000 liability insurance in the Educators' Professional Liability Plan. Our insurance provider is Forrest T. Jones & Company, Inc., and they administer the Trust for Insuring Educators (TIE), which was established in 1973 specifically for educator groups leaving the umbrella of the unions. TIE makes it possible for member organizations to pool their memberships to create a large enough base to secure competitive insurance plans and rates. TIE is now comprised of over 60 educational associations and more than 1.5 million members.
