Nonprofit, Non-Partisan, Pro-Education

Professional Oklahoma Educators is a nonprofit, non-partisan, pro-education association focused on improving education in the State of Oklahoma. We place the wellbeing of students, teachers and communities above politics. 

Education Only, Member Directed

Our legislative and policy efforts focus solely on education and education related issues. Our efforts are informed and directed by our membership via surveys, roundtable discussions and personal interactions. Our membership consists of teachers, support personnel, and administrators.

We Don’t Fund Politicians

Our membership dues do not go to politicians. This helps us keep our dues low and stay focused on the issues, not the politics. Our goal is to provide relevant information to our members and listen to their thoughts and concerns so we can better represent their views at the Capitol.
