The Future Educators Association (FEA), a member of the PDK International family of associations, is an international student organization dedicated to supporting young people interested in education-related careers. Founded in 1937, FEA has helped thousands of students develop the skills and strong leadership traits that are found in high-quality educators over the past 75 years.
By staying true to its mission while incorporating the latest in technology and education research, FEA continues to help:
FEA is significantly contributing to the development of the next generation of great educators, and you can be a part of it.
The mission of the Future Educators Association, Chicago State University (CSU) Chapter, is to foster the development of the most highly qualified and accomplished educators for today’s learners. The organization will do this by supporting, challenging, and encouraging each and every one who demonstrates an expressed interest in education profession. The organization will also strive to represent the broad interest of educational practitioners and will reach beyond the borders of its membership into the CSU faculty, staff, alumni, and community to support the mission.
Benefits of CSU FEA Membership
The Illinois legislature requires that the curriculum at all State universities contain
instruction in safety education for teachers and other education professionals.
Chicago State University and the College of Education has chosen to have teacher candidates fulfill this requirement via the following web-based tool. The content in the Safety Module is intended to encourage teacher candidates to think about safety.
Our mission as an organization is to perform service to the community on and off campus, perform service to professional organizations such as IAPHERD, AAPHERD, IPRA, NRPA, NTRS, and NIRSA, contribute to and foster professional interaction and growth among the membership, and serve as a social organization for Physical Education and Recreation majors.
Professional Development Opportunities
We promote and strongly encourage our members to meet practitioners and enhance their network through volunteer opportunities that we provide and attending professional conferences as well. We also encourage our members to become involved in professional organizations.
Social Gatherings
Our members establish team building by hosting events and collaborating with other organizations. We have had game night, hosted a speed dating event, competitive basketball games, and collaborated with a new fraternity with a masquerade ball.
