Professional Educators of Iowa

Professional Educators of Iowa

PEI exists to engage, equip, and empower Iowa schools by supporting educators and their students.

PEI is a member-owned, member-governed professional association for all school personnel. Members receive career protection, legal services, $2 million in professional liability insurance and lobbying representation.

We might be a little biased, but we think our professional liability coverage is the superior choice for Iowa's educators.

For over 40 years, PEI has been providing top-notch service at the most reasonable rates in the state for teachers. Don't go back into the classroom uncovered.
