The KEA Student Program is a professional association for college students preparing to enter the teaching profession. Through its affiliation with the KEA and the NEA, KEA-SP provides college students assistance, benefits, professional resources, and the opportunity to learn -- not only from each other -- but from a network of campus advisors and from practicing professional educators.
KEA-SP is one of the largest student organizations in the country. The association currently has 32 local chapters on Kentucky college and university campuses.
A democratically-elected, ten-member state Executive Committee develops goals
for the student program and plans for implementing them. KEA student members
are represented on the KEA Board of Directors, all KEA standing committees,
at the annual KEA Delegate Assembly, and at the national Representative Assembly,
ensuring that professional practitioners are listening to the voice of future
educators. Members are also represented by five regions of the KEA Student
Program. The campuses in each region are listed below:
