Welcome to STEA! The Student Tennessee Education Association provides its members with a wide variety of opportunities to grow, to explore, and to be advocates for public education and the students of that education. As preservice educators, we are spokespersons for future educators. We must ask of ourselves what we would ask of our students--nothing but the best! It is only by working together that we can improve education and teaching environments.
