Insurance

United States University provides worker’s compensation and liability insurance for Student Teacher while they are engaged in student teaching or other field-based credential classes. This means Student Teachers are only covered while they are actively enrolled in credential program courses. Student Teachers must purchase additional liability insurance from one of a variety of insurance sources. Additionally, as an NEA Student Program member you qualify for one million dollars of insurance through the NEA Educators Employment Liability Program. (See this website for more information: http://www.nea.org/home/30844.htm.)

You will need to purchase additional insurance in addition to your USU supplied insurance.

Any teacher joining NEA as an Active member during his/her first year of eligibility can request a rebate of Student dues paid; $20 per year, up to four years for NEA.
