Member Spotlight: Danielle Porcho, English Teacher at Daniel Boone High School (Washington Co. EA)
"I am a proud TEA member. Not only has TEA accepted me as an outsider coming in from a different state, but they have mentored me. They have trained me. They have empowered me to be an impactful teacher and leader within our association. And I am so proud to say that I am TEA! I love sharing the power and support TEA generates for teachers and school workers in the state of Tennessee.”

You don't have to carry it alone. Stress, grief, family challenges, workplace conflict, financial concerns — sometimes we all need support. TEA's Member Assistance Program (MAP) offers eligible members and their families free, confidential support 24/7, including short-term counseling, guidance, referrals and follow-up.
