Aurora Education Associaton

Welcome to the Aurora Education Association

Welcome to the official web site of the Aurora Education Association, a professional association and advocate organization for teachers. We are the exclusive bargaining agent for the licensed staff of the Aurora Public Schools, and are affiliated with the Colorado Education Association and the National Education Association.
AEA members are committed to excellence in education and advocate for quality teaching and learning for every student in the district. Teachers are the district’s most valuable asset and make a difference every day through their dedication to provide students the highest quality education.
AEA works to ensure that policies and practices at the school and district levels reflect the values and beliefs of our members. AEA represents its members in contract negotiations, including wages, hours, and conditions of employment and when necessary by filing grievances to address individual and group employee concerns. AEA also represents members through communication with district level leadership, school board members, and through representation on district committees.

We are focused on providing members excellent representation to ensure a great teaching experience and an opportunity to positively impact the lives of students attending the Aurora Public Schools.

TELL Colorado Survey April 13 - May 11, 2009

Have you taken the TELL Colorado survey? If not, it's time TELL! You only have one more week to tell legislators, your school district and your colleagues what you think and what you need to improve student achievement, professional development and facilities in your building. If you don't have an access code, or have misplaced the one you were given, please send an email to helpdesk@tellcolorado.org. In the email, please put your name, school site and district (Adams-Arapahoe 28J) and you will get an access code by email. Once you do, please take the survey right away.....it should only take about 20 minutes. It's anonymous, it's important and it matters.
