PSEA Membership Application

With Peru Student Education Association (PSEA) membership, students receive professional liability insurance. Students must have this insurance prior to entering a school for their practicum placement. This annual membership is for the academic year from September 1 through August 31.

This membership is required for all students prior to the start of any practicum placement and student teaching. The Nebraska State Education Association (NSEA) will provide us with an updated membership list each week. Students may forward the receipt/confirmation email to The Director of Field Experiences/Certification Officer, Stephanie Holmes at SHolmes@peru.edu.

The Director of Field Experiences/Certification Officer will visit courses to discuss practicum placement requirements. During this class, students will be asked to purchase professional liability insurance. If a student is absent during class, they can schedule a separate time with The Director of Field Experiences/Certification Officer or follow these instructions below:
