About Us

The Wicomico County Education Association (WCEA) is an affiliate of the National Education Association as well as the Maryland State Teachers Association.  WCEA works diligently to respond effectively to the needs of Wicomico County's educators.  We offer assistance to classroom teachers, guidance counselors, speech pathologists, media specialists and other non-supervisory certified educators in the Wicomico County Public Schools who are Unit one employees.

Workplace Representation
WCEA's experienced field staff works with members to solve both individual and school-wide problems.  WCEA building representatives advocate for the interests of their colleagues at monthly meetings, and keep them informed about, and involved in, the work of the Association. 

Collective Bargaining
The main purpose of the WCEA is to negotiate a contract between Unit 1 employees and the Board of Education.

Political and Legislative Action
WCEA monitors  and works with the Board of Education, local, state and federal legislators concerning legislation that impacts the classroom teacher.  To all candidates for elected office,  WCEA offers an endorsement process.  All questions and points of discussion during this endorsement process are concerned only with educational questions.  The candidate’s position on all issues other than those which directly effect public education are not considered.

Professional Development
WCEA offers professional development through MSTA and NEA to improve instructional as well as leadership skills and strategies.
