Introduction to ATPE's Protection

Protecting your career is just as important as protecting any other life investment. That’s why ATPE provides eligible members a superior protection package that includes Professional Liability and Employment Rights Defense insurance*. In addition to the fully insured protection program, ATPE maintains a staff of dedicated licensed attorneys** who assist members with professional concerns ranging from answers to questions about education law to more complex job-related advice.

This section will give you a host of pertinent details about ATPE’s protection benefits and information on topics such as certification, appraisals, student discipline and many more important areas of the law related to your job.

*The Educators Professional Liability Insurance Policy is underwritten by National Union Fire Insurance Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa. All coverage is subject to the express terms of the master insurance policy issued to ATPE and kept on file at the ATPE state office. Coverage applies to an insured’s activities within his/her professional capacity.  Click here to download a summary in PDF format. Eligibility for ATPE membership benefits is contingent upon ATPE’s receipt of the entire annual membership dues amount for your appropriate membership category. A disruption in payments to an authorized payment plan may result in discontinuation of such benefits, including cancellation of insurance coverage for the entire membership year, retroactive to the earlier of Sept. 1 or your membership date.

**The insured member services and staff attorneys’ assistance are offered through separate programs.
