Fondée en 1857 sous le nom de National Teachers Association (NTA) et, la National Education Association (NEA), qui porte ce nom depuis 1870, est la première organisation syndicale des États-Unis avec 3,2 millions de membres[1],[2]. Elle regroupe les enseignants du secteur public, les professeurs en formation ou retraités, les personnels ouvriers. Dennis Van Roekel est son actuel président. Non-membre de l'AFL-CIO, le NEA est membre de l'Internationale de l'éducation.
