The PDK International family of education associations:
PDK is the original member of the PDK International family of associations, which also includes Pi Lambda Theta (PLT) and the Future Educators Association®(FEA). Together, these three education associations support the full spectrum of the education profession, beginning with FEA for precollegiate prospective educators, continuing with PLT for collegiate preservice and practicing teachers, and concluding with PDK, a prestigious professional association of educators.
Specifically, PDK is one of the largest education associations in the world and has thousands of members dedicated to improving education, including teachers, principals, superintendents, and higher education faculty and administrators. PDK publishes the highly-regarded Phi Delta Kappan, the No. 1 education policy magazine, and sponsors the annual PDK/Gallup Poll of the Public’s Attitudes Toward the Public Schools.
Hundreds of local PDK chapters, including our North Florida Regional Chapter, give PDK members a unique opportunity to network with other like-minded educators. These are just some of the many benefits for PDK members.
