About Professional Educators of Iowa
What We Believe
Student needs drive the decisions we make in our schools. We believe parents are a child's first teacher, and we support a parent's freedom to access programming most appropriate for their children. Our hope is for a strong partnership between the school and the home.
Teachers are an important factor in student success. We believe working with all levels of educational personnel will greatly benefit the education of all students in Iowa. Thousands of men and women commit their days to supporting the work of teachers. Those who serve in nutrition, transportation, operations, clerical, and serve as support staff and administrators are critical to the mission of the classroom teacher.
We value the privileges of being a Right-to-Work state. PEI respects the individual freedoms of both members and non-members.
Public service is a public trust. We believe the business of the people should be conducted by the people, and we believe all stakeholders should be provided the opportunity to participate in the formation of policies and practices affecting their workplace.
