What we do



Get to Know Us and Join With Us!
Membership Is Our Strength
Together at both the local and state level, NEA Danbury and CEA fight hard to ensure members have some of the highest teacher salaries in the nation, pensions to support teachers in retirement, substantial healthcare, good working conditions, personal and sick days, prep periods, free professional development, and more.
​
Members have access to the best team of education law experts in the state, at no cost, for assistance with a wide range of issues that impact your career.
Additionally, CEA helps reduce anxiety over teacher evaluations by providing support and resources to guide you through the entire process. We also help you navigate and progress through your professional career and the state’s three-tiered certification process.
But perhaps most importantly, we are your negotiators for your collective bargaining agreement - your contract.
We are your voice and your advocate for any issues that come your way.
