Education Minnesota

WE ARE MINNESOTA EDUCATORS

The Voice for Professional Educators and Students

More than 84,000 educators from preservice teachers who are studying to enter the profession to retired educators belong to Education Minnesota. 

From pre-service teachers who are studying to enter the profession to retired educators who still work through the union to support colleagues in the classrooms, lunchrooms and college lecture halls, Education Minnesota spans generations in academic settings. 

Education Minnesota is made up of 477 local unions. Each is organized to meet the specific needs of members in their job settings and communities. 

Our purpose

Education Minnesota is the leading advocate for public education in Minnesota.

Our members work in pre-K-12 schools and higher education institutions statewide. They include:

• Education support professionals.
• Faculty at several university campuses, community and technical colleges.
• College students preparing for an education career.
• Retired educators who have devoted their lives to students.

Education Minnesota gives “voice” to the issues that affect educators and their students. We make sure our members’ voices are heard anywhere decisions get made that affect public education—whether it’s at the state Capitol, in Washington, D.C., or with local school administrators.
