About the North Carolina Association of Educators

The North Carolina Association of Educators is the public school employee union in North Carolina and the fastest growing National Education Association affiliate in the South. We’ve led the largest educator walkouts in state history and mobilized thousands of voters across the state to the polls to protect, transform and expand public education.

NCAE members work in every school district in the state, represent every public school profession (classroom teachers, administration, classified staff and student support services) and also are retired and aspiring (student) educators and community allies. For over fifteen years systemic attacks on public education moved an agenda to de-professionalized professions, defund our schools and divide stakeholders and communities. In 2023, NCAE members adopted a bold strategic plan and made historic investments organize and grow our union, lead our professions and restore the promise of public education and our democracy through political and community engagement and democratic practices.
