PAGE Membership Hits 75,000 The Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) has announced that its membership had reached the 75,000 mark, almost double the size of the NEA’s affiliate in Georgia, the Georgia Association of Educators. PAGE is also the second largest independent teacher group in the nation, second only to the group in Texas. Executive Director Allene Magill said that the results of the group’s fall membership campaigns have consistently indicated that, given a choice, teachers across the state prefer to join an independent organization providing advocacy which is both proactive and professional. “Educators have been facing numerous challenges at the local, state and federal levels. These challenges are related to funding and to virtually every aspect of what occurs in our schools and classrooms. PAGE has remained a positive voice throughout this period, advocating in a positive and professional manner for our members,” Magill said. “Our message has resonated strongly with new teachers, which is why we have more than doubled in membership over the past ten years.” PAGE, which has been the largest group for educators in Georgia since the mid-1990’s, has launched “A Year of Professional Learning” activities, available to all educators, and has initiated the Teacher Academy for novice teachers and the Teacher of the Year Leadership Institute to build upon the professional skills of teacher leaders who have been named in their districts across the state. PAGE is currently working with fourteen schools across the state on the High School Re-Design Initiative. The group is currently finalizing its legislative agenda for the upcoming session of the General Assembly. **** PAGE, the state's largest organization for professional educators, is a nonunion association of more than 75,000 teachers, administrators and support personnel members providing professional learning to enhance competence and confidence, build leadership and increase student achievement. |
