If your employment status will be changing for the upcoming 2019-20 school year, you need to make sure that you renew your ATPE membership in the correct category. Not sure which category is right for you? Let us help!

Are you a 2018-19 college student member?

• If you will be student teaching or doing classroom observations in 2019-20, renew in the student teacher category so that you have access to the insured benefits.*
• If your 2019-20 coursework will not include classroom observations, renew in the college student category. (This is not an insured category.)

Are you a 2018-19 student teacher member?

• If you will be teaching in your own classroom in 2019-20, renew as a first-time professional member so that you have access to the insured benefits.*
• If you will be substitute teaching, renew in the associate category to have access to the insured benefits.*

Are you moving into an administrator role in 2019-20?

• If you will be employed as a principal, area superintendent, assistant superintendent, or superintendent for 2019-20, renew in the administrator member category so that you have access to the insured benefits.*
• If you will be a vice principal, renew in the professional member category to have access to the insured benefits.*

Are you retiring at the end of 2018-19?

• If you will not be working in education in 2019-20, remain a part of the ATPE community by renewing in the retired category for only $10. Retired members receive ATPE publications and save using our services and discounts.
• The retired category is not an insured category, so if you will be substituting, you need to renew in the associate category to have access to insured benefits.*

Are you planning not to work in education in 2019-20?

• If you will not be working in education in 2019-20, remain a part of the ATPE community by renewing in the public category for only $35.
• The public category is not an insured category, so if you will be substituting, you need to renew in the associate category to have access to the insured benefits.*
