- "There is no word in the language I revere more than 'teacher.' My heart sings when a kid refers to me as his teacher, and it always has. I've honored myself and the entire family of man by becoming a teacher."
- Pat Conroy, Prince of Tides
- Welcome to our website
We are the Jefferson County Education Association (JCEA). Affiliated with the Colorado Education
Association (CEA) and the National Education Association (NEA), JCEA is both a professional association and an advocate organization for teachers. Since 1968 we have successfully represented the interests of teachers, students and public schools through successful negotiations of our comprehensive Master Agreement with the Jeffco Public Schools and a variety of Association programs.
- Our mission is to empower educators to promote professional rights, responsibilities and practices to achieve educational excellence within a changing society. Our motto-Shaping Tomorrow Today - reflects that mission and the purpose of public schools in Jefferson County, Colorado. We believe the students in our classrooms today will be the decision-makers, custodians, and taxpayers of our democratic society tomorrow.
