Welcome to Virginia Professional Educators

Who We Are

We are a non-profit, professional association of teachers. We were created by teachers and for teachers.

VPE is a professional association – a refreshing alternative to the partisan politics and controversial social agendas of teacher unions.

We do not contribute to political parties or candidates, nor do we promote issues unrelated to education.

VPE represents several thousand Virginia teachers. VPE/AAE has been serving Virginia educators since 1994.

What We Do For Teachers
We focus on the classroom and on helping you as a teacher. We provide: $2 Million Per Member Educator Liability Insurance Legal Assistance Professional Help with Employment Issues Professional Development Education Policy Updates Scholarships and Grants A Voice On Teacher issues …and many other benefits
