The A.P.E.X program is designed to encourage chapters to participate in a variety of projects and activities that fall under five main categories:
- Community service
- Leadership and membership development
- Political action and advocacy
- Professional development
- General organization and quality

PSEA's legislative priority to pay student teachers advances in state Legislature
On June 22, the state House of Representatives approved House Bill 1331 which will pay student teachers for the work that they do and increase pay for teachers who mentor them. This creates a:
- $10,000 stipend for all student teachers,
- $15,000 stipend for student teachers in schools with higher teacher vacancies,
- And $2,500 stipend for teachers who mentor student teachers.
HB 1331 is now awaiting consideration in the state Senate. For more information on PSEA's legislative priorities, click the button below.
