The Associated Professional Educators of Louisiana (A+PEL) is the premier educators' organization in Louisiana. A+PEL is committed to advancing A+ teachers as career professionals. By focusing on professional development, teacher advocacy and excellence in education, we empower Louisiana's youth for future success. 

A+PEL was formed in 1987 as a professional organization for Louisiana teachers. Our primary purpose is to empower teachers who embrace similar views on education in Louisiana and our nation. We believe teaching is a PROFESSION and concentrate our efforts on education issues and the upgrading of teaching. 

As a service to our members, A+PEL provides liability insurance coverage, a legal advisory network, governmental affairs representation, professional development opportunities, and scholarships and grants.

We support rigor in the classroom and give free informational sessions on teacher evaluation policies, common core, and PARCC.
