IT’S HERE! VEA is Proud to Introduce the VEA Learning Portal!

VEA Members have an opportunity to take their professional learning into their own hands. You will have access to learn from a wide variety of topics, on demand!

Ed Equity VA

The removal of educational equity resources from the VDOE website was a cynical and partisan move by Gov. Youngkin. To show how strongly we feel that educators should have access to these resources, the VEA website will now house those materials on our own website, free of charge.

Find Equity Resources Here

National Board Certification

As an affiliate network of NBPTS, the VEA provides support and professional learning for NBCTs and candidates pursuing certification to both members and non-members. A variety of candidate support services are available including NEA Jump Start workshops, cohorts, and one-on-one support provided by trained NBCT professional learning facilitators.
