Your PAGE Benefits

Welcome to PAGE!

An association of educators for educators, PAGE exists for you. As a new member of Georgia’s largest and most trusted educator association, you now have access to all we have to offer.

While the peace of mind that comes with exceptional legal services for career protection is a primary benefit, the many additional rewards of PAGE membership go much deeper. In this special edition of PAGE One magazine, you’ll learn about the full range of benefits, services, and financial awards available to you as a member.

Membership Services

You’re busy—every day—doing great work both inside and outside the classroom. Amid demanding schedules and competing priorities, the many benefits available to you as a PAGE member may not be immediately evident. Whether your goal is to learn more, participate more, or simply know who to speak with about issues as they arise, your team of Membership Services Representatives (MSRs) are here to assist. This group of PAGE experts—all former Georgia educators, and each specializing in a specific geographic region within the state—are dedicated to helping you receive the most from your membership.

Legislative Services

Strong, principled advocacy for Georgia educators and public education drives the work of your PAGE Legislative Services staff. This highly respected policy team provides influential representation of educator voices at the Georgia Capitol and with state agencies, including the Georgia Department of Education, the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia, and the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. PAGE representatives are present whenever and wherever decisions are made that affect Georgia public education and your career.

One-on-One Coaching

As a member of PAGE, you have access to more benefits and services than any other Georgia educator association. One unique benefit is professional support through the association’s one-on-one coaching program. If, at any time in your career as a Georgia educator, you feel overwhelmed, discouraged, uncertain, and in need of professional support, PAGE Coaching is here to help by pairing you with a highly experienced veteran educator to assist in identifying solutions to professional challenges. And, because PAGE Coaching is completely confidential, you’ll be able to address even the most difficult and sensitive topics.

Professional Learning

Great educators continue to learn throughout their careers. PAGE believes in the power of professional learning to enhance an educator’s capacity to lead in the classroom, school, district, and community. PAGE offers several in-person academies founded on the themes of engagement and equity. Participants love the learning and relationship-building they experience in the PAGE Engage! series. Virtual learning opportunities are also available. There’s considerable value in these experiences, and no cost to PAGE members to participate. We encourage you to invest in yourself and your growth in the profession.

Grants & Scholarships

Your PAGE membership also comes with financial opportunities available exclusively to members. When you’re seeking funding for innovative, enrichment activities or programs to propel your students to the next level, you’ll want to apply for a PAGE Educator Grant. Each year, PAGE awards up to $100,000 in individual $500 grants to fund these endeavors. And, when you’re ready to pursue additional academic credentials to boost your career, consider applying for a PAGE Foundation Scholarship. To date, PAGE has invested more than $650,000 in financial assistance to help individual members further their education goals.

Achievement Recognition, Teacher Pipeline, and Student Programs

You can be a STAR with PAGE! The Student and Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program honors Georgia’s highest-achieving high school seniors and the educators most instrumental in their academic development. The STAR program has honored more than 30,000 students and their teachers since its inception. PAGE also promotes education as a career to boost Georgia’s teacher pipeline through the Future Georgia Educators program. PAGE is a major sponsor of the Teach in the Peach state Department of Education educator recruitment initiative. PAGE provided 18 $500 scholarships on Educator Signing Day in May. Thousands of middle and high school students exploring education as a career participate in school-based clubs and attend events on college campuses. And, PAGE also administers annual academic competitions for students—and guidance for the educators sponsoring these rewarding experiences—throughout the state.

Thank you for choosing PAGE. We look forward to serving you throughout your career.
