Western Student Education Association

What is WSEA (Western Student Education Association)?

​

The Western Student Education Association (WSEA) is affiliated with the Student Michigan Education Association (SMEA) which is a pre-professional organization for people preparing for the teaching profession in any of the higher education institutions in Michigan and who are not regularly employed as educators by an educational institution or agency.

​

The Michigan Education Association (MEA) and and it's student program help lead education majors to a brighter professional future. The program exists to help students make a smooth transition from the campus to the classroom - to help give students the edge as a teacher in those very important first years.

​

This is where your very own Western Student Education Association comes into play - to help pre-professionals learn about salaries, contracts, the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification Program, evaluations, discipline, certification requirements, and substitute teaching, to name a few.

 

Our Mission:

To provide a meaningful environment in which Western Michigan University education students can excel in professional development through participation in programs pertaining to the WMU and the national education community. Our organization serves as an affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA) and as a supplement to the College of Education program in order to help further inform and inspire future educators.
